Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses - Stainless Steel - 72-piece / 12 persons

There are cutlery sets, and then there is the Van Kempen & Begeer Cutlery Set Prinses. This is not an ordinary cutlery set purchased out of convenience - this is a set that tells a story at the table. About taste, about tradition, about how you bring a festive moment into your home. With 72 pieces for 12 people, you can set the table with confidence, whether it's for an elaborate Christmas dinner, a birthday celebration, or just an evening where you want to treat everyone around you.

Royal Company at Your Table

The Prinses collection is not a random name. In 1966, Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus received this cutlery as a wedding gift - and that says it all. The lines are inspired by the 18th-century Louis XVI style: understated, stylish, with a nobility that never shouts but always stands out. No excessive curls or flashy details, but a refined outline that simply looks good on a set table. Whether you set the table classically with linen napkins and candles, or choose a modern setting - the Prinses adapts without losing itself.

Van Kempen & Begeer is one of the oldest and most renowned Dutch cutlery makers and silversmiths. Founded in 1789, with a heritage of craftsmanship that you feel as soon as you pick up a piece of cutlery. This is not rubbish that gets dull spots after two years - this is quality that proves itself, year after year, dinner after dinner.

Everything You Need for 12 People

A complete table starts with complete cutlery. This set leaves nothing to chance:

• 12 Dinner Spoons - for soup, sauce, or an elaborate starter buffet
• 12 Dinner Knives - with a hollow handle that feels light and perfectly balanced
• 12 Dinner Forks - sturdy grip, tastefully shaped
• 12 Teaspoons - because a good dinner ends with a good cup of coffee
• 12 Dessert Forks - for the sweet treat everyone looks forward to
• 12 Dessert Knives - so the dessert also stands on its own cutlery-wise

That’s 72 pieces of cutlery, carefully assembled so you are fully covered from the first bite to the last teaspoon of coffee. No last-minute searching for extra forks, no mix-and-match of different sets. Just: set, ready, enjoy.

18/10 Stainless Steel - Shine That Lasts

The material is 18/10 stainless steel - the gold standard for quality cutlery. The 18 stands for the percentage of chromium (which prevents rust formation) and the 10 for nickel (which provides that beautiful, durable shine). Practically translated: this cutlery will not rust, discolour, or deform. The high-gloss finish gives the set a festive character that instantly elevates your table.

The dinner knives feature a hollow handle - a hollow grip that makes the knife lighter without sacrificing sturdiness. The result is a knife that is perfectly balanced: not heavy, not flimsy, but just right. Anyone who has ever held a knife that feels too heavy at the handle will immediately understand why this is cleverly designed.

Dishwasher Safe - Because After Eating You Want to Enjoy, Not Scrub

Yes, this cutlery can go in the dishwasher. That is not a given with quality cutlery, but with the Prinses you don’t have to think about it. You turn on the dishwasher, sit back with your guests for a while, and when everyone leaves, your cutlery is already clean.

Want the shine to stay looking new for longer? No problem: just wash it by hand or dry it immediately after washing. That sounds like work, but it literally takes you a minute per setting - and your cutlery will look perfect for years.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: After taking your cutlery out of the dishwasher, dry it immediately with a soft tea towel. This prevents water spots and keeps the high-gloss finish looking flawless - even after dozens of dinners.

A Gift That Stands the Test of Time

The Cutlery Set Prinses comes in a beautiful gift box - making it the perfect gift. For a wedding, an anniversary, a housewarming, or just because you want to give someone something that truly has value. This is not the gift that disappears into a kitchen cupboard after three years. This is the cutlery with which a family experiences their dinners, creates memories, and welcomes their guests.

And you can later expand the set: individual place settings and refill sets from the Prinses collection are available separately. This way, you can build your set at your own pace, exactly how you want it.
