Dessert knife 925 silver gold-plated Astra Classic

The dessert knife from SevChern's Astra Classic collection is a piece of Russian silver tradition: 925 sterling silver, gold-plated, with black niello ornamentation in the typical Astra pattern. For desserts, cakes, and light sweets — and for tables where details matter.

Astra Classic — Niello and Gold Plating on Real Silver

The Astra pattern is the centerpiece of SevChern's collection from Veliky Ustyug: Deeply engraved ornaments are filled with black niello paste — on gold-plated 925 sterling silver. The result is a precise black-gold contrast that does not fade and gains depth with age. Each piece bears the Russian silver hallmark as proof of quality.

Slim Design — Precise for Desserts

With a length of 199 mm and a width of 16 mm, this dessert knife feels slim and precise in hand. The weight of approx. 30 g is intentionally light — the right balance for cakes, fruits, and light desserts. The blade is made of 925 silver, gold-plated, and the niello handle makes it a harmonious overall piece.

As a Gift — a Lasting Piece of Table Culture

A dessert knife made of real silver is a gift for people who see their table setting as an expression of appreciation. For a wedding, a milestone birthday, or as an addition to an existing Astra Classic set — this piece comes in a gift box and is ready to be presented immediately. If desired, it can be combined with dessert forks or a dessert spoon from the same collection.
