- Malta hand-made silver products.Maltese silverware is an important part of the country's patrimony and is much sought after by collectors in international auction rooms. This craft, which flourished under the Knights, is still carried on in small workshops across the Islands.
With the arrival in Malta of The Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem and the flourishing of the baroque style in the building of churches, palaces and patrician homes, the Maltese silver industry emerged to produce some of Europe's finest ware. The Knights even introduced the use of silverware for use at the Sacra Infermeria to help prevent the spread of infection.
All silver and gold products are certified for authenticity and hallmarked accordingly by the Maltese Government Consul.
This traditional craft still survives today thanks to the tourist industry. In fact, nowadays, filigree is considered to be a work of art by many tourists who purchase a piece of filigree during their holiday or trip to Malta.
