ASTRA Table Silver Collection — a design for the entire table

The ASTRA collection combines numerous pieces of cutlery and serving items in a consistent design made of 925 sterling silver. From soup spoons to steak knives to cake servers — every piece bears the characteristic ASTRA decor with its clear lines and subtle reliefs. This creates a table where every element belongs together without appearing uniform. All pieces are individually cast, ground, and polished — refined in our workshop through more than 15 production steps.

What distinguishes the ASTRA design

ASTRA focuses on a timeless design language with gently curved contours and a fine relief band at the end of the handle. The design appears modern without adhering to a trend — it fits into a classic table setting just as well as a minimalist ambiance. The proportions are chosen so that each piece sits well in the hand: knife handles with a comfortable weight, forks with a balanced feel, and spoons with a precise bowl shape. The surface is highly polished, which gives the silver its full luster while making it easier to maintain.

Occasions and target groups

When to give ASTRA table silver as a gift?

A cutlery set from the ASTRA collection is one of those gifts that will last for generations. The collection is particularly popular for weddings — as a foundation for a shared table culture. It is equally suitable for silver or golden anniversaries, for moving into a new home, or as a prestigious corporate gift. Individual items such as serving cutlery are excellent as targeted additions for collectors who are gradually completing their 925 silver table silver.

Who is the ASTRA collection for?

For couples building their first shared silver collection. For hosts who value a uniformly set table. For collectors who wish to expand a silver cutlery set piece by piece. And for anyone looking for a gift that will be used daily — not just for special occasions.

Care and handling

ASTRA table silver is designed for regular use. After each use, rinse with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry immediately — silver does not like stagnant moisture. For light patina, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient. Avoid contact with mustard, egg dishes, or rubber — these substances accelerate tarnishing. Store the cutlery in a lined cutlery chest or in silver cloths to minimize scratches and tarnishing. Not dishwasher safe.

Frequently asked questions about the ASTRA collection

Can I build the ASTRA collection gradually?
Yes. All pieces are available individually. Start with a basic set for 6 people and add serving cutlery, fish cutlery, or coffee spoons as needed. The uniform design ensures that pieces added later fit seamlessly with the existing collection.

Is ASTRA table silver suitable for daily use?
Yes. 925 sterling silver is a robust material that lasts for decades with proper care. The ASTRA collection is deliberately designed not just to sit in a display cabinet, but to be on the table every day.

What engraving options are available?
Monograms, initials, or a date can be engraved on the ends of the handles. Contact us — we would be happy to advise you on fonts and placement. An engraving turns an ASTRA set into a personal gift with lasting significance.

How does ASTRA differ from other silver cutlery collections?
ASTRA is characterized by its subtle relief band and clear lines. Compared to more heavily ornamented collections, ASTRA appears more restrained and fits a variety of interior styles — from classic to modern.

How many pieces does a complete ASTRA set for 6 people include?
A basic set usually contains a knife, fork, soup spoon, and dessert spoon per person — i.e., 24 pieces. When supplemented with serving cutlery and coffee spoons, more pieces are added. The exact composition depends on your wishes.
