Tsar's Feast — Luxury silver art made of 925 silver & gold plating

The Tsar's Feast Collection unites prestigious silver pieces, embellished with elaborate gilding and delicate niello ornamentation. Each of the 18 pieces is crafted at the SevChern manufactory—individually cast, gilded, and finished in over 15 steps. This collection is for connoisseurs seeking something special: silver that not only shines but also tells a story. The gilding protects the surface and adds warm accents reminiscent of the opulent culture of Russian goldsmithing tradition.

Gilding and niello — two finishing techniques in one piece

Gilding and niello create a deliberate contrast in this collection: the gilding brings warmth and luster to the surface, while the niello decoration —a dark alloy permanently fired into the silver—creates depth and rich detail. Both techniques are applied by hand and executed in the SevChern workshop using traditional methods. The result is pieces that are equally stunning on a set table or displayed in a cabinet.

Care and handling

Gold-plated pieces made of 925 sterling silver are robust and designed for everyday use. Clean the gold plating with a soft cloth and lukewarm water—do not use abrasive cleaners. The niello decorations are permanently fired on and require no special care. For patina on uncoated silver surfaces, a silver polishing cloth is sufficient. Store pieces in the provided gift box to prevent scratches.

Can I have pieces from the collection engraved?
Many pieces offer engravable surfaces. Contact us in advance — we will advise you on which areas are suitable for a personal dedication without affecting the ornamentation.

Are these pieces suitable as an investment?
The pieces are made of solid 925 sterling silver with gold plating and have an intrinsic material value. However, their true value lies in the elaborate finishing and the limited production run, which makes each piece a collector's item .

How are the pieces packaged and shipped?
Each piece comes in a high-quality gift box. Shipping within Germany is free and insured. International shipping available upon request.
