However, according to the Jewelry Industry council, many modern households have sterling silver that has a "butler finish." In the days when sterling silver was reserved for those families who could afford to have footmen and butlers, it was the butler's responsibility to polish the silver.

It was found that the silver became more and more beautiful the more it was polished, gaining an added lustre and rich appearance through the years. Today, this lustre and beauty is found in new sterling silver, and although it is accomplished by polishing methods in the factory, it is still called "butler finish."
