Since it was founded in 1856 by Giuseppe Sambonet, Sambonet has established a heritage of more than 150 years of silver craftsmanship. From the beginning, it has produced the finest flatware and hollowware—first as the Official Supplier of cutlery for Italian noble families. The brand is just as much known for innovation as it is for tradition. In the 1930s, it became the first production plant in Italy capable of producing both solid and galvanic silverware, and, later that same decade, developed a technique for silver-plating stainless steel. Now, the brand is synonymous worldwide for Made in Italy cutlery and dining.
