Brand > Carrs Silver
Carrs Silver has had its home in Sheffield the home of fine English cutlery since the 1600s, and Carrs Silver is one of its finest silversmiths. For well over three hundred years, craftsmen in this English city have developed the skills and techniques to produce some of the world’s finest silverware, with each generation improving and pioneering quality and design.
Carrs produce an unrivalled selection of sterling silver and silver plated cutlery sets and serving pieces, together with other table top accessories such as decanters, bottle coasters, napkin rings, candlesticks and centrepieces.
Carrs sterling silver cutlery is crafted and finished to the highest standard using traditional hand polishing methods and is designed to be used on a regular basis. With regular use it will develop an attractive 'patina' which is a result of fine scratches.
Carrs silver plated cutlery is electroplated with 35 microns of 'fine' silver, which in time will display the same patina characteristic of sterling silver cutlery.
The heavy deposit of silver means that it will not 'wear' off for at least 35 years of normal domestic use, and is guaranteed for this duration. In normal domestic use and with a few simple rules observed, Carrs cutlery will last a lifetime.
Carrs stainless steel cutlery is 18/10. The '18' refers to 18% chromium which is added to the steel mix to give it stainless properties and the '10' refers to nickel which adds to those properties and also gives a silvery sheen.
The surfaces of the all Carrs sterling silver products have been manufactured using traditional hand polishing methods; it is this highly skilled process which gives the silver its characteristic brilliant finish.
To prevent tarnishing, Carrs silver should be cleaned regularly with an impregnated polishing cloth and never with abrasive polish.
Offering timeless designs with expert British craftsmanship, it is no surprise that Carrs export their products to over sixty countries across the world.
