For modernists, the gleam of silver also has a certain polish and panache to it As our market editor Madeline O'Malley recently explored in depth, a wealth of modern interpretations are also coming to the fore, bringing more playful, experimental,"
"Known for their sculptural stainless steel forms, it's no surprise that Scandinavian brand Georg Jensen also crafts some of our favorite silverware. More statement pieces than purely functional items, their offerings are the kinds of investments that newlyweds covet for their registry and that design lovers collect in earnest.

Silverware spans traditional utensil and decorative forms and can be repeatedly reinvented to suit diverse aesthetics. Antique silver or pewter patina lends tables and shelves a collected, cottagecore or eclectic feel. Polished silver appeals to modernists with a gleam that conveys polish and panache. Contemporary designers are producing playful, experimental silhouettes, such as wavy handles and artist-made planters and candlesticks. Scandinavian brands like Georg Jensen create sculptural stainless steel forms that read as statement investments rather than purely functional tools. Historic houses such as Christofle deliver heavily crafted, even-weighted pieces favored by chefs and collectors, often at premium prices.
