Jewelry was made from gold and silver wire in Egypt as early as the 3rd century BC, the jade garments of the Han dynasty in China were sewn with such wires and in the Middle Ages, filigree Celtic knots were made from silver wire. These endless knots have neither beginning nor end, their loops can be traced endlessly and symbolize infinity and the eternal cycle of life.
In our MÖHRLE SILBER GERMANY manufactory, we use silver wire to produce classic thread edges. Fully committed to tradition our silversmith Walter Iwaniw produces a classic thread rim for our real silver place settings in individual, elaborate steps. First, the solid hand-drawn silver wire is stretched on the drawing bench. It must then be annealed and sawn by hand. Now it is beaten round and then adjusted. Finally, it is placed on the plate and then soldered on. Our real silver placemats add sophistication to your table setting and serve a practical purpose at the same time. Unlike placemats made of fabric or bamboo, they are easy to clean and add a touch of elegance to your tableware. And another big plus: real silver placemats are wonderfully easy to combine and yet give every table a stylish upgrade. Teresa shows our hammered model with matching napkin ring.
