Jaipur, February 22

US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania will have dinner on the gold and silver-plated cutlery made in Jaipur when they stay at an ITC hotel in the national capital.

Jaipur’s designer and manufacturer of precious metal has made a collection of gold and silver-plated cutlery collection for the President’s visit to India on February 24 and 25.

“The Trump collection” has been painstakingly conceptualised and created within two weeks using wide variety of non-ferrous metals and has been coated with thick layer of pure gold and silver as the final finish, said Arun Pabuwal, CEO of a Jaipur-based company.

Arun was entrusted with designing and creating exclusive tableware and cutlery for personal use of the visiting dignitary by the ITC Group (Maurya). Specially crafted cutlery includes round plates, bowls, spoons, forks, glasses, tissue paper holders, and tissue paper grip embossed with individual’s names. It also includes fruit trays, juice mugs, sweet tray, coffee/tea cup sets, besides other decorative items.

This is the third occasion when the firm has designed and created exclusive serve ware and accessories for personal use of a visiting US President, the earlier two other occasions being former President Barack Obama’s visit in 2010 and 2015.
