The Story of Silver

Cabana x Asprey

In the history of British silversmithing, Asprey is at a confluence: a maker of fine domestic silver fit for everyday use, a creator of grand spectacle trophies, royal commissions, and international emblems, and a bespoke silversmith capable of crafting almost anything for a discerning client.

From Georgian tea-sets presented in grand estates across the
English countryside, to ornate championship trophies tumbling down the terraces
at football stadiums, and bespoke gifts bestowed with pride for special
occasions, Asprey’s silver history is a story of uniquely British
craftsmanship.

What distinguishes Asprey's silver is both the longevity of
its silversmithing, and the scale and prestige of its commissions. The Maison
creates iconic, globally recognizable sporting trophies, including the
world-famous sterling silver Premier League trophy – which, with its silver
gilt and green-malachite plinth, took more than 600 hours’ of craftsmanship –
the Soccer Aid Shield, and the turning figure atop the Race to Dubai golfing
trophy, which depicts 19th-century professional golfer, Harry Vardon.

In a fast-paced era of mass-production, Asprey’s
silversmithing endures, a testament to age-old techniques that require time,
patience, repetition, and intimate knowledge of the metal. The meticulous
process of raising a trophy, chasing a relief, hand-engraving a name, or
polishing silverware to a mirror-finish remains deeply skilled and
artisanal.
