At WILKENS we take great pride in our over 200-year old tradition of handcrafting the finest luxury silver flatware and cutlery, silver table ware, table accessories and collectibles. We feel it is our obligation and our promise to you to deliver the finest quality product and service to our customers.
Using only finest quality sterling silver for the production of cutlery and tableware has a long tradition that goes back to the ancient Romans and reaches a peak in the 19th century with the Art Deco period.
In those days, fine dining culture was celebrated, and numerous silver manufacturers crafted a large number of cutlery patterns with up to 130 individual pieces, thus furnishing the dinner tables of fine society.
