Serving pieces are usually the largest items in a silver cutlery set – and often the ones that sit unused in the cupboard the longest. That's exactly why they need extra protection against tarnishing. This cutlery roll is specifically designed for 8 serving pieces and keeps your silverware clean and ready to use. The roll 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 wide pockets provide enough space even for large serving spoons, serving forks, soup ladles, sauce ladles, and carving knives. Note: For soup ladles, we recommend our cutlery case for soup ladles – it is specifically designed for the length and shape of a ladle.

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. Serving pieces that only come out on special occasions benefit from this most of all. How to Use It Unfold the roll and lay it flat on a table. Place each serving piece 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 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. Any questions, or want to see it in person?

This roll is designed for large serving pieces like serving spoons, serving forks, sauce ladles, and carving knives. For a soup ladle, we recommend our special cutlery case for soup ladles – it fits the length and shape of a ladle much better. 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 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. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Which pieces is this roll suitable for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "This roll is designed for large serving pieces like serving spoons, serving forks, sauce ladles, and carving knives.
