Material and craftsmanship

Each of the three tiers is made of solid 925 sterling silver and features an ornament around the edge that is hand-engraved and filled with niello – that black silver-sulfur alloy that chemically bonds with the silver and therefore never peels off like paint. The ornamentation is framed by fine gilding that emphasizes the contours and gives the tiered stand its warm, festive shine. The combination of dark niello and gold on highly polished silver represents the Velikoustjug niello tradition, whose first written mention dates back to 1683 – an art that is still cultivated in Veliki Ustjug today. The central support with the golden support ring connects the three tiers into a stable, self-contained construction.

Use and occasions

The three tiers create verticality on the table – an effect that turns a simple dessert buffet into a small stage. Especially for a wedding, an anniversary, or a festive dinner, the tiered stand makes a statement that remains in memory long after the moment has passed. At a classic afternoon tea or when presenting chocolates and petit fours, it also shows how much elegance a single object can add to a table. Anyone looking for a wedding gift that won't disappear in a cabinet, but will be used again for every festive occasion, will find a piece here that fulfills exactly this role.

Engraving and SilberVerse card

The gilded ornaments and niello inlay are already handcrafted. Whether and where an additional name or date engraving can be placed, we check with the manufacturer SevChern, who will organize the engraving for you. You add the flat fee for the engraving service directly to the cart with the tiered stand, after which we will agree on the wording with you; if engraving is not possible, we will refund the flat fee. As a personal touch for the gift, we are happy to design a SilberVerse card for you in 15 × 10 cm photo format – free of charge, individually tailored to the occasion, and an addition that accompanies the tiered stand without altering it itself.

Care

Clean the tiered stand by hand with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and mild dish soap. Never treat the gilded areas and niello inlay with silver polishes or abrasive sponges, as this can damage the gilding and fine engraving. Polishing it dry after each use preserves the shine for the longest time. Over time, careful polishing deepens the contrasts between the dark niello and the bright silver – the tiered stand does not become dull, but more expressive.

Frequently asked questions

Is the tiered stand completely made of solid silver? Yes, all three tiers as well as the central support are made of 925 sterling silver and are hallmarked.

Can I have the tiered stand engraved? The ornamentation is already fully hand-engraved.
