Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses - Stainless Steel - 40-piece / 6 persons

Imagine a beautifully set table that looks special even before the food is served. Not with candles or flowers, but simply through the cutlery. That is the silent strength of the Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses - a collection with history, character, and the refined lines of the 18th-century Louis XVI style. This is not cutlery you buy because you have to. This is cutlery you choose because you know the value of dining together.

Royal history at your table

In 1966, Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus received the Prinses collection as a wedding gift. This is no coincidence - this cutlery has something you can feel the moment you hold it. The understated, noble lines speak for themselves without shouting. Stylish without being over the top. Timeless without being dull. Van Kempen & Begeer is one of the oldest and most renowned Dutch cutlery brands, and with the Prinses collection, the brand shows why. Every fork, every knife, every spoon is a nod to a rich tradition - yet perfectly suitable for your everyday table or that special meal with friends and family.

Why the Prinses cutlery set is a smart choice

• Complete set for 6 people - Includes serving cutlery such as a potato spoon, two vegetable spoons, and a sauce spoon. Ready to serve, no additional pieces needed.
• Elegant Louis XVI lines - The classic lines of Prinses make every dinner a celebration, whether it's a weekday meal or an elaborate Christmas dinner.
• Hollow handle for a light and balanced feel - The knives have a hollow handle, making them feel just right in your hand. You notice this immediately upon first use.
• 18/10 stainless steel for lasting shine - Rustproof, strong, and resistant to daily use. This cutlery won't lose its shine after a year.
• Simply dishwasher safe - After a lovely dinner, you don't want to spend ages cleaning up. This set can go straight in the dishwasher, allowing you to relax while the machine does the work.
• Neatly stored in a storage case - The set comes in a large storage case, ideal for storage and also a lovely choice as a gift.
• Expandable - Additional place settings and extension sets from the same collection are available, so you can easily expand the set for more guests later.

Cutlery you can feel - the details that make a difference

Cheap cutlery is immediately noticeable: too light, wobbly, discoloured quickly. The Prinses cutlery set from Van Kempen & Begeer belongs to a whole different class. The 18/10 stainless steel has a high-gloss finish that not only looks beautiful but is also resistant to the daily wear and tear of kitchen life. The 18/10 designation refers to the composition of the steel: 18% chromium for rust resistance and 10% nickel for that durable, radiant shine. This is the material professionals choose - and now you can have it on your table at home.

The knives with hollow handles are a deliberate design choice. The hollow handle ensures the weight is perfectly balanced, making the knife feel light without looking flimsy. Cutting feels effortless, the knife sits steadily in your hand, and it adds that little touch of craftsmanship that you only truly appreciate once you've tried it.

Serve like a pro - complete without extra purchases

A cutlery set for six people is a good start, but true table setters know: you also need serving cutlery. The Prinses 40-piece set has already thought of that. In addition to the 36 pieces for the place settings (6 dinner spoons, 6 dinner knives, 6 dinner forks, 6 dessert spoons, 6 dessert forks, and 6 dessert knives), there is also a complete serving collection: a potato spoon, two vegetable spoons, and a sauce spoon. This way, you can place the dishes on the table, and everyone can serve themselves immediately - no fuss, no searching for a spoon that matches.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Want the high-gloss finish to stay beautiful for longer? Rinse the cutlery immediately after washing and dry it straight away with a soft cloth. Limescale residues from the dishwasher can cause spots over time - a quick dry is enough to keep it mirror-smooth for years.

A gift with class

Looking for a wedding gift, an anniversary present, or something special for someone who loves dining? The Prinses cutlery set comes in a large storage case that not only stores the set neatly but also looks presentable as a gift. You're not just giving cutlery - you're giving a piece of Dutch silversmithing tradition, wrapped in a box that matches the value of the gift. Just like Beatrix and Claus received it in 1966. That says enough.
