Your guide to Belvedere Bar Collection
The Belvedere Bar Collection is one of the most distinctive and ambitious additions to Robbe & Berking's celebrated range of silver barware. Conceived as a complete home entertaining experience, Belvedere brings together exceptional craftsmanship, architectural inspiration, and the unmistakable brilliance of silver plate to create drinking vessels and bar accessories that are as beautiful as they are functional.
The design language of Belvedere is rooted in classical antiquity. The signature cannelure pattern — the vertical grooves reminiscent of columns found on ancient Greek and Roman architecture — runs across every drinking vessel in the collection, catching the light at every angle and creating a play of reflection that is simply impossible to achieve with any other material. Silver has always been the material of choice for fine tableware and entertaining, and Belvedere demonstrates precisely why: nothing amplifies light, atmosphere, and occasion like it.
Yet for all its classical references, Belvedere is unmistakably a collection for the modern home. The silhouettes are clean, the proportions are refined, and the overall aesthetic strikes that rare balance between heritage and freshness that defines truly timeless design. Whether displayed on a sideboard, presented at a dinner party, or brought out for a special occasion, Belvedere pieces make an immediate and lasting impression.
The Collection at a Glance
The Belvedere range spans everything needed for serious home entertaining. The champagne flutes are among the most elegant in the collection, their tall, slender forms accentuating the cannelure detailing with effortless grace. The tumblers come in multiple variants — covering beer and long drink, gin, wine, water, rum, and whisky — allowing you to build a cohesive set tailored to your entertaining style. The cocktail coupe is a masterpiece of proportion, perfectly suited to Martinis, Daiquiris, and other short cocktails served without ice.
Completing the collection are a range of bar accessories — including a jigger, cocktail strainer, and champagne tongs — as well as the showstopping Belvedere Cocktail Shaker and Glass. And for those who wish to display the collection in truly spectacular fashion, the Belvedere Bar Trolley is in a class of its own. Crafted by Robbe & Berking's own boat-builders in their company shipyard, the double-decked serving trolley takes its design cues from the teak deck of a luxury sailing yacht, with black joints across the upper tray that evoke the craftsmanship of fine nautical joinery. It is a piece of functional art as much as a bar accessory.
Rounding out the range, the Belvedere Snackbar provides an elegant accompaniment for serving nibbles and accompaniments alongside your cocktails and drinks, completing the full entertaining experience.
Silver Plate: Quality You Can See and Feel
All Belvedere drinking vessels and accessories are finished in silver plate, applying a generous coating of pure silver over a strong base metal to deliver the lustre and reflectivity of solid silver at a more accessible price point. Robbe & Berking's silver plating standards are among the most exacting in the industry, ensuring depth of colour, durability, and the kind of mirror-bright finish that defines a truly premium product.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Belvedere Bar Collection?
The Belvedere Bar Collection by Robbe & Berking includes champagne flutes, a range of tumblers (covering beer/long drink, gin, wine, water, rum, and whisky), a cocktail coupe, a cocktail shaker and glass set, a range of individual bar accessories (jigger, cocktail strainer, champagne tongs), a Snackbar serving piece, and the Belvedere Bar Trolley. The collection can be purchased piece by piece or built up over time.
What material are the Belvedere pieces made from?
The Belvedere drinking vessels and accessories are crafted from silver plate — a base metal body with a high-quality silver coating applied to the surface. This gives the pieces the brilliant reflectivity and elegance of silver, with excellent durability for everyday use and entertaining. The Bar Trolley also incorporates wood elements with black joints inspired by yacht deck construction.
What is the design inspiration behind the Belvedere collection?
Belvedere takes its name and its signature decorative motif from classical architecture. The cannelure pattern — the vertical fluted grooves seen on the columns of ancient Greek and Roman buildings — runs across every drinking vessel in the collection. This architectural reference gives the pieces their distinctive character: simultaneously rooted in history and entirely contemporary in feel.
How do I care for silver-plated barware?
To maintain the finish on silver-plated pieces, hand washing with warm water and a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaning products or scourers, which can damage the surface. After washing, dry immediately and thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water marks. If the silver begins to tarnish over time, a quality silver polish or silver cloth will restore the original lustre. Avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods or drinks, and store pieces in a dry, stable environment when not in use.
Is the Belvedere collection suitable as a gift?
Absolutely. The Belvedere collection makes an exceptional gift for weddings, significant birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, or any occasion where a truly memorable and lasting present is called for. Individual pieces such as the champagne flutes, whisky tumbler, or bar accessories are ideal for single gifting, while the Bar Trolley represents the ultimate statement gift for the discerning entertainer. Please contact our team if you require any assistance selecting the right piece.
Can I mix Belvedere pieces with other Robbe & Berking bar collections?
While Belvedere has its own distinctive design identity, Robbe & Berking's other bar collections — including Dante and Martelé — share the same exceptional standards of silver craftsmanship and quality. Many customers choose to explore across collections, though those who prefer a fully coordinated bar set will find that Belvedere is comprehensive enough to stand entirely on its own.
