Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses - Stainless Steel - 24-piece / 6 persons

Tablecloths may wrinkle, candles may flicker, but one thing truly sets the tone at the table: the cutlery you lay down. The Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses does this with a style that has stood the test of time - and that's no coincidence. This is the cutlery that Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus received as a wedding gift in 1966. What does that say? That quality and timeless design go hand in hand, and you can simply pop it in the dishwasher when the evening is over.

Why the Prinses collection belongs at every table

• Timeless Louis XVI lines - The understated, noble lines give every dinner a festive touch, from weekday pasta to an elaborate Sunday roast.
• Complete for 6 people - 6 Dinner Spoons, 6 Dinner Knives, 6 Dinner Forks and 6 Teaspoons: everything you need for a fully set table.
• Hollow handle for perfect balance - The knives have a hollow handle that makes them feel light and effortless to hold, even after a long dinner.
• 18/10 stainless steel, high-gloss finish - Rustproof, durable and shiny - now, in ten years, and beyond.

A story that begins at the table

There are cutlery sets that you buy and cutlery sets that you cherish. The Prinses falls into the latter category. The collection was inspired by the refined design language of the 18th-century Louis XVI style: clean lines, subtle ribbed details, a silhouette that doesn't shout but whispers - and yet stands out immediately. It's the kind of cutlery that guests unconsciously pick up and examine before diving into their plates.

Van Kempen & Begeer is one of the oldest silversmiths in the Netherlands, with a reputation built not on marketing budgets but on craftsmanship passed down through generations. The Prinses collection is proof of that: timeless in form, reliable in material, and made to last for years. This is not an impulse buy - this is an investment in how you set your table, now and in the future.

Material and maintenance: strong and surprisingly easy

The 18/10 stainless steel from which the Prinses is made is not just any stainless steel. The numbers refer to the composition: 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This gives the material its characteristic shine, its resistance to stains, and its long-term durability. Your cutlery won't dull, won't attract rust, and will maintain its colour - even after hundreds of meals.

Maintenance is a breeze. Just pop it in the dishwasher after eating. Want to keep that high-gloss finish looking great for longer? Wash it by hand occasionally and dry it immediately. No special cleaning agents, no complicated rituals - just smart care for something beautiful.

The knives deserve a special mention: their hollow handle provides a remarkably light balance in the hand. Cutting feels effortless, even for those with less strength or who sit at the table for a long time.

Serve with class, store with ease

The Prinses set comes in a stylish storage case - immediately handy for storage in a drawer or cupboard. No loose pieces rolling around, no scratched spoons. Everything has its place. That storage case also makes the set perfect as a gift: you hardly need to wrap it, as the packaging speaks for itself.

Do you have a larger gathering or want to expand your set with dessert cutlery, fish cutlery, or extra place settings? You can. The Prinses collection includes individual supplementary sets so you can complete your table as desired - without starting from scratch.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Lay out the cutlery the night before a festive dinner in the storage case and place it on the dining table. This way, you start the next day relaxed with setting the table - and you secretly already look forward to cooking before the time comes.
