Lierre Silverware Set

Product Description

In the Middle Ages, ivy — lierre in French — was synonymous with fertility and rebirth. It’s the last plant to produce pollen in the fall, and so it feeds the bee through the winter; it’s the earliest to fruit in the spring, so it welcomes birds back from their long absence. As a motif in tapestries and paintings as in wood- and metal-carving, ivy is thus always delicate and alluring. From the tapering handles to the long, thin necks to the silver finial on the butts of each utensil, our Lierre Collection captures all the grace of the namesake vine that so gorgeously adorns it. A testament to the perfection a master cutler can achieve.
