Van Kempen & Begeer 40-piece - 6-person Cutlery Set 'Prinses'

Royal blood on your dinner table. Van Kempen & Begeer's Prinses cutlery was part of the 1966 wedding gift for Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus. Now it's your turn to dine like royalty: 40 pieces of polished 18/10 stainless steel for 6 people, dishwasher safe and neatly packed in a cassette.

A royal design since 1926

Carel Begeer designed Prinses in 1926 and released it in a limited run under model number 1062. Forty years later, this tableware became part of the wedding gift for Beatrix and Claus. After that, there was no stopping it: the model became so popular that a variant followed, model 1069.

People simply called both of them 'Prinses'. A name that sticks, just like the cutlery itself: a regular guest at lovingly set dinner tables for generations.

Soft lines, solid grip

Prinses has a soft, noble line that winks at the 18th-century Louis XVI style. A subtle decorative edge along the handle gives the cutlery its classic, refined look without overdoing it.

The knives have a broad, slightly heavier handle, the forks and spoons a flat, wide stem. The result? Cutlery that sits comfortably in your hand and feels like it's always been there. Classy, but never stiff.

Made for every day (and every holiday)

This isn't cutlery you leave gathering dust in a drawer until Christmas. The high-quality 18/10 stainless steel is polished to a beautiful shine, dishwasher safe and built to last for generations. From a quick weekday pasta to a five-course dinner with the in-laws: Prinses is always ready.

The set comes in a cassette, so you instantly have a place to store it. Or a gift that wraps itself, for anyone moving in together or getting married.

Keep your Prinses shining

Rinse your cutlery before it goes into the dishwasher, place it handles down and mix knives, forks and spoons. Take it out right after the programme ends and dry it off. Don't put it in the cutlery basket together with silver-plated cutlery: that can cause stains.
