Cutlery Roll for 12 Pieces with Tarnish Protection

Silver cutlery stored away for years will tarnish. That's normal – but it doesn't have to be. This cutlery roll keeps your silverware clean and ready to use, without having to polish it every time you take it out.

The roll holds 12 pieces of cutlery and is double-layered: tarnish-resistant felt on the inside, cotton on the outside. The cotton outer layer further reduces oxygen exposure – the main cause of silver tarnishing. The result: your cutlery stays bright for longer.

Note: If you're storing coffee spoons only, our cutlery roll for small pieces is the better choice – the pockets are sized to fit smaller pieces more snugly.

Why a Cutlery Roll?

Silver tarnishes when sulphur compounds from the air come into contact with the surface. A regular drawer or box does little to prevent this. A cutlery roll wraps each piece individually in tarnish-resistant fabric – slowing the process considerably. If you only use your silverware occasionally, that makes a real difference.

How to Use It

Unfold the roll and lay it flat on a table. Place each piece of cutlery into its pocket – handles facing the closing end. Then roll it up firmly from the cutlery end and tie it with the attached ribbons. Rolled up, it takes up very little space and stores neatly in a drawer or cupboard.

Since Albec stopped production, this roll has been made exclusively for us by a German manufacturer. The quality and construction have stayed the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the tarnish protection last?

It depends on storage conditions – in our experience, well-rolled cutlery stays bright for many years. The key is the double-layered construction: the less oxygen reaches the silver, the slower it tarnishes. A properly rolled cutlery roll seals much better than an open drawer.

What's the advantage over a regular drawer?

A drawer isn't airtight – oxygen and sulphur compounds from the air constantly reach the cutlery. The roll wraps each piece individually. Add to that the double-layer construction – tarnish-resistant felt inside, cotton outside – and you get noticeably better protection.

What's the difference to a single-layer cutlery roll?

Single-layer rolls are often a bit cheaper – but they offer less protection. The cotton outer layer of this double-layered roll adds an extra barrier against oxygen. If you want your silverware to stay bright as long as possible, the double-layer version is the better choice.

Can I wash the roll?

We'd advise against it. Washing can affect the tarnish-resistant properties of the felt.
