Direct from Paris:  A magnificent antique French Louis XVI sterling silver flatware set by two of France’s premier silversmiths “Odiot” and “Puiforcat”, a service for 24 with extra dinner knives and dinner forks plus Mother-of-Pearl handled dessert and cheese knives by Gustave Keller – circa late 1800s.   The House of Odiot represents one of the most significant chapters in the history of French decorative arts, embodying the pinnacle of silversmithing excellence from the Ancien Régime through the Second Empire. For nearly two centuries, this illustrious firm set the standard for luxury silverware, creating pieces that were as much works of art as they were functional tableware. The Odiot workshop became synonymous with the highest levels of craftsmanship, attracting royal patrons across Europe and establishing design conventions that would influence generations of silversmiths.  The Early Years:  The Odiot dynasty began modestly in 1690 when Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot established a small silversmith workshop in Paris. However, it was under his grandson, Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot (1763-1850), that the firm achieved its legendary status. The younger Odiot came of age during one of the most dynamic periods in French decorative arts, training under master goldsmiths during the final years of Louis XVI's reign and establishing his own workshop just as the Empire style was emerging under Napoleon.  Odiot's workshop became renowned for its technical innovations in silver production. While most contemporary silversmiths used the standard 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver), Odiot consistently worked with a richer 950-grade alloy (95% pure silver). This formulation, while more challenging to work with due to silver's natural softness, produced items with superior luminosity and resonance. The remaining 5% of alloy typically included trace amounts of platinum or palladium, which enhanced durability without compromising the metal's radiant white sheen. Metallurgical analysis of surviving pieces reveals this unique composition contributed significantly to both the visual appeal and longevity of Odiot's works.  Unparalleled Craftmanship:  The firm maintained an almost monastic devotion to traditional techniques even as industrialization transformed manufacturing. A typical Odiot flatware...
