Know before you buy
No, this sterling silver fork is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish and prevent tarnishing or damage, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent and drying immediately with a soft cloth.
The set includes a protective flannel wrap, which is the ideal way to store your pieces. Keeping them wrapped helps minimize exposure to air and moisture, significantly slowing the natural tarnishing process.
The satin finish provides a sophisticated, matte appearance that contrasts beautifully with the polished tines. Over time, with regular use and polishing, this finish will develop a soft, graceful luster that is characteristic of fine sterling silver.
Yes, the Chantilly pattern is an active pattern. This makes it a practical choice for those looking to build a collection over time or replace individual pieces.
At 7.5 inches long, this is a standard dinner fork designed specifically for main entrées. It is larger and more substantial than the salad fork included in the 4-piece set.
