Cheese itself has been a staple of the human diet for thousands of years. However, it was during the Renaissance period in Europe that the cheese server likely emerged. This era, marked by burgeoning wealth and refinement among the aristocracy, saw silverware becoming a symbol of status and sophistication. By the 18th and 19th centuries, cheese servers had become ubiquitous fixtures in elegant dining rooms and grand banquet halls across Europe and the United States. Crafted from precious metals such as sterling silver, these servers were not only functional but also cherished as family heirlooms, passed down through generations.

This S. Kirk & Son “Repousse” Cheese Server is from a private collection on consignment, now available at Avonlea Antiques and Interiors, awaiting discerning connoisseurs and collectors alike.
