About the Item

The Italian company Roberto Sambone manufactured this lovely chrome-and-copper centerpiece, serving dish, or bowl for its 1980s "Graffiti" collection. The shiny chromed metal square design has rounded corners and is decorated with copper and silver plate inlaid floral decor featuring fern branches. The piece is marked inside: "Sambonet - Italy." Measurements: 10.25 in wide (26 cm) by 10.25 in deep (26 cm) by 0.82 in high (2 cm). Note: In 1856, after earning a Fine Arts diploma, Giuseppe Sambonet, son of a nobleman from Vercelli, obtained a Master Goldsmith license and established the company Giuseppe Sambonet, registering the seal bearing the initials "GS" with the Turin mint. By the early 20th Century, his company was the Official Supplier to many noble families, including the Duchess of Genoa and the Count of Turin. In 1932, Sambonet was the first company in Italy to build an industrial manufacturing plant for sterling silver and galvanic silverware. In 1938, it developed an innovative process of producing stainless steel flatware and a silver-plated steel manufacturing technique. In 1947, it started manufacturing stainless steel knives and blades using its technology. In 1956, Sambonet conquered the international market and beat 53 competitors to supply the Hilton Hotel in Cairo with a hollowware line that remains in its collection today. Today, Sambonet is represented in some of the world's best hotels and restaurants. Customers can find Sambonet flatware and hollowware in the leading department stores in the US and Europe. As part of the Rosenthal family, Sambonet combines Italian design with German precision and quality. (Credit: Sambonet website)
