Unmistakable and unrivalled – developed long ago in Augsburg's silver workshops, this classic piece still belongs on a sophisticated festive table today. It was named after its characteristic, all-round decorative relief, the so-called Faden, or thread. The design was created around 1780. With classic, clean lines, it echoes the proportions of the traditional spade. Today, almost 250 years after its creation, the Augsburg thread has lost none of its classic elegance. It continues to be hugely popular and has been an integral part of German table culture for a long time. This contemporary cutlery classic underscores the character of a festively laid table and creates a particularly stylish atmosphere.
