The Royal Allure of Silver
Gold may exude power and authority, but silver has a regal elegance all its own
While gold may be the material of choice for many of the accoutrements of royalty, silver has long had the place of honor on well-appointed tables in both palaces and noble manors.
The use of silver tableware, usually in the form of drinking vessels and platters, has been documented since the earliest human civilizations. But it was only during the time of Louis XIV, France's legendary Sun King, that craftsmen pulled out the stops to create magnificent salvers, tea sets, and epergnes for the tables of Versailles and many of the known world's regal and imperial families.
While revolutions and sundry historical events have relegated many silver table pieces to museum displays, master craftsmen still create beautiful silverware with which people could commemorate special milestones in their lives or use for grand occasions in their homes. These range from engraved memorabilia and celebratory motifs to cutlery and accents that will serve as magnificent heirlooms throughout generations.
This is the spirit behind PORTORO Interior's new Royal Silver Collection, a curated selection of exquisite items that link traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. Plated impeccably with finest silver, each piece in the collection serves as a beautiful gift and a tangible memento of a cherished time.
