Table silverware

Table silverware brings together the sterling or silver-plated serving pieces used in a palace dining room, from platters and vegetable dishes to champagne buckets and covers. It carries a purity hallmark guaranteeing its silver content and tarnishes on contact with sulphur in the air, which makes frequent polishing with a soft cloth essential. Its upkeep and inventory fall to a dedicated pantry, responsible for keeping every piece bright at the moment of service.
