Crystal glasses sparkle in concert with the flickering candlelight. The immaculate white linen tablecloth is a striking background for gleaming sterling silver flatware, precisely arranged. You've set your table for the holiday dinner and all is perfect.
After the meal is over, the dishes washed, and the last silverware washed by hand and left to dry on a soft towel, how will you store your precious sterling silver flatware?
Childrens Storage Chest
A silver chest, made just for silver storage, is the solution.
Regardless of style or material, proper silver storage chests and flatware boxes all have some common characteristics:
Liners should be made of soft, anti-tarnish material. This provides protection against tarnish and wear of your silver while in storage.Purchase a chest or drawer liner that is large enough to hold all of your pieces. Each piece should fit snugly, but softly, in its own slot on top of like pieces. Knives should be stored with the blades held securely to prevent warping. Never force more pieces in a slot designed to hold fewer.Silver storage, whether in a wooden chest or soft-sided box, should always close completely to protect the pieces from dust, light and air.
Silver chests come in several styles:
Wooden Silver Chests
Silver chests made of mahogany, cherry and other fine woods are the epitome of silver storage. Most of these are graceful in design and come with handles on either side of the chest for easy lifting. Often an engravable plate is included on the top or inside the lid that can be personalized with the family name. A shallow drawer at the bottom of these chests is a handy feature used for storage of ladles, slotted spoons, large knives and service pieces. Wooden silver chests are a little harder to store, as they may not readily fit in a drawer, but they provide the most protection for your silver.
Leather Silver Chests
Leather silver chests, while still beautiful and functional, are a more affordable alternative to the pricier wooden chests. These leatherette or leather flatware boxes usually have a snap closure and a low profile for easy storage in a drawer or buffet.
Silver Drawer Liners
Silver drawer liners are used when you would rather not store your flatware in a box at all, but keep it in a buffet or other drawer. These liners are made specifically for silver storage, as they separate and protect all of the flatware in anti-tarnish material. Drawer liners are the most affordable of all, and can be purchased in a variety of sizes to fit your collection.
A good silver chest is a one time investment that will protect your heirloom silver flatware for many years to come. Invest in the best one you can afford, and you will see the benefit of proper silver storage every time you set the table.
