Lead by fifth generation, Oliver Berking, this family affair is ready for a new century. Here is why you need to have Robbe & Berking on your table now.

- Every piece of your Robbe & Berking set is carefully handcrafted on site in Germany. Each fork is delicately hand polished in between the tines.

- If you choose to buy Robbe & Berking flatware you will be in the company of the Sultan of Oman who just commissioned R & B to craft bespoke flatware for his luxury yacht. This silverware purveyor is in a league of its own. League being the perfect word for a company that has also been making luxury yachts for over a century- hosting the coveted Sterling Cup sailing championship.
- There are over 45 microns of silver plate enrobing each setting of silver- plated flatware that Robbe & Berking handcrafts. None of the processes of making their silverware is done outside the German factory.
