presented by Cooke & Kelvey. Cooke & Kelvey by appointment
to Her Majesty's Government in India, set up shop in Calcutta in
the year that followed the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny. For the next years,
following the English patterns finest silver craftsmen created
the myriad table pieces without which the colonials' dinner or
tea tables were incomplete and C & K became India's answer
to London's own Tiffany's and Asprey's. More then 150 years later,
the magic still intact, C & K continues to capture in its object
d'art, the romance and beauty of a bygone era that does not restrict
itself to exquisitely crafted silverware but is a part of the entire
experience that is C & K and now GiftSilver.com

Today, the handcrafted silverware that graces the deceptively modest show-window
on Janpath (Click Our Showroom) is a toast to the "panache of the connoisseur".
Over 80 artisans, mostly belonging to the old order to handcrafting silver, expend
enormous amounts of silver at the manufacturing facilities at Calcutta and New
Delhi every year, while in-house design team blue-prints each exclusive silverware
item. It is no wonder than that C & K's exclusive clientele includes celebrities,
headline-making television anchors and personalities, reckoning industrial houses
and prestigious firms, from across the globe. It even earned appreciation from
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, who was gifted one of the delicate pieces from Cooke & Kelvey.
Among the others interesting articles which have from time to time been designed
and manufactured by Cooke & Kelvey; mention must be made of the caskets presented
to King Edward, when, as Prince of Wales in 1875 and as King Emperor in 1905

The alluring enchantment of the pieces at C&K lies in the deftness, creativity
and ingenuity of the designers and craftsmen along with that unique ability to
fuse the intricate exquisiteness of the past with the stylish abstraction of
contemporary motifs. The custom made silverware and the designs put out by the
only firms of its kind are a result of perfecting the fine art of turning out
irresistible designs that draw gasps from impressed beholders. Needless to say
Piece de Art. In keeping with its tradition, Cooke & Kelvey presenting Giftsilver.com
is determined to stick to the path set more then 150 years ago, celebrating exclusivity
and saluting a bygone era in their own way…
