Astra Classic cake server – 925 silver gold-plated with niello design
Highlight Title
Special properties of products
Description
The Astra Classic cake server combines the floral design language of the SevChern manufactory with warm gilding and the characteristic black of niello. On both sides of the handle sits a silver field with a floral niello ornament in a geometric frame – a stylized flower with buds and delicate leaf tendrils. The serving blade itself is smoothly gilded on the front, while the back features a fine, gold-colored floral engraving that harmoniously blends into the Astra Classic line. This transforms a utilitarian item for the cake table into a small piece of silversmith art.

Material and Workmanship
The base is 925 sterling silver, refined with a 24-karat gold plating that gives the serving blade its warm golden hue. On the handle, niello provides a contrast – a millennia-old technique where a dark metal alloy is melted into finely engraved depressions. Unlike lacquering, niello forms a chemical-physical bond with the silver: it does not flake off, but deepens its contrasts with every polish. The Astra Classic line features a stylized, round, open flower with recognizable petals, flanked by buds and finely crafted leaf tendrils – a botanical signature that runs through the entire manufactory line.
Use and Occasions
As a serving piece, the cake server is intended for those moments when the Sunday table becomes a small celebration – when cutting cake in front of guests, at festive afternoon coffee, at the first joint celebration with the new family. It suits a silver wedding anniversary, an occasion whose material is already in its name, as well as a wedding gift for a young couple. Anyone who already owns an Astra Classic dinner service will find this cake server to be the perfect addition to the serving side of the table, which is often missing in pure cutlery sets.
Engraving and SilberVerse Card
An engraving is not always possible on this piece, as the niello ornament runs on both sides of the handle and the gilded serving blade is unsuitable for engraving. If you desire a personal dedication, please inquire with customer service before ordering – we will check the possibility on the specific piece. Regardless, upon request, we include a SilberVerse card in photo format: 15 × 10 cm in landscape orientation, digitally designed, currently free of charge and always unique.
Care
The cake server is not dishwasher safe – aggressive cleaning tablets attack both the gilding and the niello. Hand washing with warm water and mild detergent is sufficient, then dry thoroughly. If tarnishing appears on bare silver areas, a soft silver polishing cloth helps – however, it should not be used on the niello ornament, as the melted-in structure would be unnecessarily stressed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cake server suitable for daily use?
Yes. The 925 alloy and the gilding of the serving blade are food-safe and intended for regular use at the table, not just for display.
Can I have a personal engraving done?
That depends on the specific piece, as the niello ornament and gilding leave little free space. It's best to ask customer service before ordering.
How does Astra Classic differ from other lines of the manufactory?
Astra features a round, stylized flower and flowing leaf tendrils in an asymmetrical composition – other lines of the manufactory, for example, use rose motifs with symmetrical borders. The botanical language distinguishes each line.
