What customers say
This flatware set earns high praise for its striking design, successfully blending historical elegance with modern dining needs. Reviewers consistently emphasize the premium feel, noting the substantial weight and excellent balance of each piece. A key theme is the set's enduring quality; users report superior performance after numerous dishwasher cycles, showing no signs of wear or tarnishing. While the initial cost reflects its high grade, customers view this as a worthwhile investment in heirloom quality and sophisticated presentation. The overall satisfaction centers on the combination of elegant aesthetics and robust, lasting craftsmanship, making it highly recommended for both formal and daily use.
Know before you buy
The 18/10 designation refers to the high-quality composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This blend provides superior rust resistance and a lasting luster, ensuring the flatware maintains its finish even with frequent use.
These knives are forged, which provides a more substantial weight and better balance in the hand compared to stamped alternatives. The forged construction also allows for a more durable, refined edge.
While the design is inspired by a historical 1876 pattern, the heavy-gauge construction and dishwasher-safe finish make it durable enough for everyday dining. It is designed to bridge the gap between formal elegance and practical, daily utility.
The set includes four complete 5-piece place settings—consisting of a dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, soup spoon, and teaspoon—along with a 3-piece hostess serving set.
Yes, the set is dishwasher safe, but for the best long-term results, we recommend using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners. Promptly removing the flatware after the cycle finishes can also help prevent water spots.
