"Noticed recently: silver is having a moment. A new guard of dealers and designers are reviving formal silver tableware and decor in ways that feel distinctly modern, while stripping away the fustiness. No more auctions to scour or online markets to scroll-these curators present a considered edit of silver, selected for form and quality. From the baroque grandeur of 18th-century artistry to the spare restraint of Scandinavian modernism, their offerings recast silver not as a dust-covered antique but as an expressive element of the present."
"Antique dealers Sissi Pohle and Pat Scherzer of Out of Use Berlin source curated vintage pieces from France, Italy, Denmark, and Germany. Their penchant for silver led to a recent pop-up at Dover Street Market Paris, where they presented an extensive edit of antique silver objects. Online, their offering ranges from a grand étagère and fruit cup ("There is always a suitable silver object for vegetables and fruits," they note) to espresso spoons, set among stainless steel and other objects."
Silver tableware and decor are experiencing a contemporary revival driven by dealers and designers curating vintage pieces selected for form and quality. Curators present considered edits that replace auction hunting and endless online searching with purposeful selections. Offerings span ornate 18th-century baroque work to the spare restraint of Scandinavian modernism, reframing silver as an expressive, enduring element of modern tablescapes. Out of Use Berlin sources curated pieces across Europe and staged pop-ups; Copenhagen’s Neroli pairs vintage silver with glassware to promote mindful consumption; Gohar World offers vintage platters, egg cups, and toast holders as counterpoints to new tableware.
