Gold and silver in a laurel wreath: how the set is built

In the round medallion stands the eagle, framed by a laurel wreath with a ribbon: two heads, three crowns, a breast shield with a rider, a sceptre and an orb. The gold lifts it from the silver. The double-headed eagle is documented as a Russian heraldic emblem since Ivan III in the late 15th century.

The gilding on the eagle is a work step of its own; afterwards the silver is polished to a high shine by hand, and only the wreath and the handle keep their dark patina. The handle, a bow with a row of beads, reaches beyond the rim; the base is smooth.

The spoon has an oval head framed by a gilded rim. Within it sits the gilded eagle, and a shell lies at the tip.

Engraving on the base and on the spoon: a date beneath the eagle

The smooth base has room for up to 20 characters, intended for a name or a date. The medallion stays as it is. The spoon can be engraved as well; we agree the location with you. A flat fee applies to every engraved piece.

Put the engraving flat fee into the cart and enter your wish under “order note at checkout”. As soon as the order has arrived, we see what can be done and talk with you about lettering and layout. If that is not possible for a wish, we refund the flat fee or show you another piece.

A SilberVerse can be added on request, free of charge: it is delivered as a photo card, 15 × 10 cm, and is created individually for the occasion and name.

Occasions for gold: milestone anniversary, Christmas, wedding anniversary

Gold beside silver in candlelight suits days on which something is celebrated. For a company anniversary it stands on the table for colleagues, for a wedding anniversary for two who like to drink tea together.

At Christmas, too, the set brings glass, spoon and box in one package. If you give gifts in business, you will find more ideas among the business gifts.

Partly gilded or antique patina: the double-headed eagle pair

The eagle exists in two versions on the same holder. On the double-headed eagle, antique patina, it stays silver; here it carries gold. Gold gives brilliance, patina a calmer effect; there is no ranking.

If you want room for a text inside the wreath, take a look at “Der Meister”. There the field stays free.

Care: silver, patina and gilding

Clean the holder and the spoon with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, then dry both well. They do not belong in the dishwasher. If the silver darkens, a silver polishing cloth brings the shine back; on the patinated areas you stay gentle.

Treat the gilding on the eagle and the spoon very gently, without pressure. The wreath and the handle are patinated dark; that is neither lacquer nor paint, and it withstands everyday use. The patina sets off the relief, so there is not a high shine everywhere, and that is not a flaw. For washing, the glass comes out of the holder.
