Children's cutlery boy 925 silver gilt — Rocking horse 2-piece

The transition from baby food to a child's own place at the dining table is a small milestone — and this set of children's fork and spoon accompanies precisely this moment. Both pieces are crafted from 925 sterling silver and highly polished, featuring a boy figure at the stem top wearing a cap and standing over a small rocking horse, as well as a heart symbol at the lower stem. Both motifs are gilded, clearly distinguishing them from the polished silver surface. The set is delivered in the characteristic orange-yellow box of the Royal Childhood line, with a crown logo and satin ribbons on both stems.

Material and Workmanship

ArgentA's Royal Childhood line follows the classic Russian table silver principle of selective gilding: not the entire piece is gilded, but only the sculptural bas-relief plaques — here, the boy figure at the stem top and the heart symbol at the stem edge. These gilding accents clearly highlight the motifs on the polished silver surface, a finishing technique that has been present in Russian table silver since the 18th century. The set is manufactured by ArgentA, a Russian manufactory specializing in children's cutlery and baby gifts.

Collection

The Royal Childhood line falls between weaning teaching tools and adult table silver: a child-sized table silver line for the phase when a child sits at the dining table with their own cutlery, typically from toddler age. At 145 mm in length, the cutlery lies between the short baby feeding spoon and longer adult cutlery, making it suitable from about two years of age well into kindergarten and primary school. The children's fork has four rounded tines for a secure grip, and the children's spoon has a polished, smooth bowl.

Special Features

The boy figure with a cap over the rocking horse is the central motif at the stem top of both pieces. The rocking horse traditionally symbolizes the first play moments of childhood, for movement and childlike imagination, while the heart at the stem edge is added as a classic symbol of love and affection from the giver to the child. Both motifs together make the set a gift that consciously accompanies a child's early years.

Occasions and Target Groups

This set is intended as a keepsake and the beginning of a child's own table silver — for birth, baptism, or as the first personal dining cutlery, often presented as a godparent's gift. Due to the boy figure, it is clearly positioned as a boy's variant.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The back of the fork and spoon stems are smoothly polished and suitable for engraving — initials, name, or birth date can be added there, while the front with the boy plaque and heart gilding remains untouched. With every order, we include a personal SilberVerse card in photo format (15 × 10 cm landscape) — individually designed, suitable for the occasion, and currently free of charge.

Care

Clean by hand with warm water and mild dish soap, dry with a soft cloth. Do not place in the dishwasher — heat and harsh cleaning tablets will damage the gilding. Polished silver surfaces can be treated with a soft silver polishing cloth, while the boy plaque and heart gilding should be avoided.
