Their story begins with a small workshop in which master craftsmen passionately chiseled the first masterpieces in silver and gold. Today, Sambonet produces flatware, tableware and cookware of the very highest quality, offering those, who appreciate beautiful things, the pleasure of using articles in which painstaking design, perfect manufacture and skilled craftsmanship are taken.

Its harmonious design using valuable raw materials processed by exclusive Sambonet pressing technology makes our Contour holloware a collection that will be cherished for generations in your family. The Contour body is constructed from valuable 18% nickel silver, which makes each piece much heavier than a similar one in stainless steel. Thickness generally ranges from 1.5mm to 2.0mm, although some points go up to 5.0mm where exposed to shocks and strains. Bases, lids, spouts, and handles are made from hot pressed brass, while handles also contain a stainless steel insert for heat resistance. Welding of handles, knobs, hinges, necks, and bases is done by hand with silver alloy brazing. Hinges are cast from one piece with gauged holes and allow covers to open up to 145Ã?Â?Ã?°. The spouts are specially designed to ensure easy pouring. Each piece in our nickel-silver Contour holloware collection is electro-silverplated with a bright mirror polish finish by an exclusive Sambonet process known as HSSP (Hard Sambonet SilverPlating).
