Harts Kitchen Icon Arthur Price Guarantee The Family Silver They might grace royal tables, but Arthur Price quality is within everyone’s reach A rthur Price’s cutlery is wide-ranging and eclectic. From traditional patterns such as Kings to Sophie Conran’s sand and water-inspired Dune, there is certainly something for everyone’s taste. Promotional box sets throughout the year start from around £100. If you want to treat yourself, there are lots to choose from but with the finest materials and guarantees that last a lifetime, you are investing is something special rather than merely buying a commodity. Arthur Price only use 18/10 stainless steel, the highest grade for strength and longevity. Not all manufacturers do this. Fifth generation Price James says: “There are various grades of stainless steel. As you’d expect people read stainless steel on a box and think great, job done. I always ask people to double-check and there’s a substantial difference in the quality.” Steel Yourself Like all companies Arthur Price live or die on their products and their levels of service. They’ve been around since 1902 so there aren’t many firms who can offer guarantees for so long. The Arthur Price of England Sovereign Silver Plated pieces have a lifetime guarantee! Other collections have 50 years, the minimum is 25. With 50 115 years on the clock, and no desire to go away, they stand out from competitors because they can genuinely offer to replace items bought generations ago. The care guidelines differ slightly depending on the product. Premium Arthur Price collections are available in silver plate and stainless steel, and the rest of the cutlery ranges are made of 18/10 stainless steel. It’s a myth that silver-plated cutlery is difficult to look after; Arthur Price’s have been designed for everyday use, and the more regularly you use it, the easier it is to care for. Why hide it away when it looks this good?
