Material and workmanship

Astra Non-Niello belongs to the Astra family and shares the same basic floral pattern with Astra Black and Astra Gold – curved floral tendrils that run along the handle. The difference lies in the finishing: While other variants of the collection use a black niello inlay for contrast, here the ornament remains open and completely golden. The engraving is finely worked into the silver and then gilded – the result is a calmer, uniformly golden look that brings timeless elegance to the table.

Use and occasions

This dessert fork is an excellent gift for weddings, anniversaries, or for anyone who collects and appreciates fine silverware. With a length of approx. 165 mm and a weight of approx. 36.5 g, it balances well in the hand. As it belongs to the Astra family, it can be wonderfully combined with Astra Gold or Astra Black – creating an interplay of gold and black-gold on the set table that makes the floral ornamentation of the entire collection visible.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The surface on the handle is limited by the ornament – please inquire before ordering whether and where an additional engraving is possible. As a personal gesture, we also recommend our SilberVerse card: an individually designed card in photo format 15 × 10 cm, currently free of charge, tailored to the occasion and recipient.

Care

Clean the fork with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive cleaners so that the gilding retains its luster permanently. If the silver under the gilding tarnishes slightly, a soft polishing cloth will help.
