Flatware Storage Chest by American Chest Company
What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

The chest was exactly what I was looking for. Not too big & handmade! Thank you.
I wanted something to store my grandmother’s silverware, mainly to reduce air exposure. This chest is so much more. This mahogany chest is well-made and demonstrates quality craftsmanship, both inside and out. I love the natural wood color and that it was made in New England.
This is a very pretty wood chest. Nicely made and I love the deeper knife holding slots! It’s a bit longer than my previous silverware chest, but without the empty bottom drawer of the old one, it still takes up less storage space. I’m very much going to enjoy using it. Thank you!
When I acquired a set of sterling silver flatware I was very happy to find the Web site for American Chest Company. The only problem was deciding which of the beautiful chests to select. It was very easy to place my order and the chest arrived on time. It was exactly as described on the Web site and very well made (in America). I am very pleased with the chest which is already an heirloom for my family. Thank you!
