Sambonet Gio Ponti Conca 24 cutlery set with hollow orfèvre handle

The history of Sambonet begins in 1856, Giuseppe Sambonet, after obtaining a diploma in Fine Arts, obtains the Master Goldsmith's patent and establishes the Giuseppe Sambonet company. In 1932, Sambonet, the first in Italy, created a production plant on an industrial scale capable of combining the production of massive silverware with the galvanic one. In 1938 he developed an innovative process for the production of stainless steel cutlery and perfected the technique for silvering steel. In 1956 Sambonet conquered the international market: first out of 53 competitors, it won the order for the Hilton Hotel in Cairo with a line of tableware still in the collection today. In 2009 the brand was acquired by the German porcelain brand Rosenthal, forming a leading brand in the production of high quality design items for the table and kitchen, intended for both the home sector and the Ho.Re.Ca channel.
