Direct from a private residence in Paris, a magnificent 19th century, Louis XVI covered sterling silver tureen by the world's premier French silversmith "Puiforcat", currently owned by Hermes, a beautifully elegant set - Circa 1890s, MAGNIFICENT. The art of silver-smithing has been a distinguished part of French heritage for centuries, producing some of the most exquisite and sought-after silverware in the world. Among the names synonymous with excellence in this field, Puiforcat stands out for its unparalleled craftsmanship, rich history, royal patronage, and innovative designs. Puiforcat's story began in 1820 when Jean-Baptiste Fuchs, a skilled silversmith, established a workshop in Paris. This workshop laid the foundation for what would become one of the most prestigious names in silver-smithing. In 1857, Louis-Victor Puiforcat, Fuchs' son-in-law, joined the business, bringing with him a passion for the craft that would define the company’s future. The business was subsequently renamed "Puiforcat" and began to flourish, gaining a reputation for its exceptional silverware. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Puiforcat expanded its range of products, producing not only silver flatware but also intricate tableware, decorative pieces, and objets d'art. The company's commitment to quality and innovation was evident in their designs, which often incorporated elements of Art Deco, a style that became closely associated with Puiforcat during the early 20th century. This period also saw the involvement of Jean Puiforcat, a visionary designer who played a crucial role in establishing the brand's modern identity. Puiforcat's silver pieces are renowned for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans who adhere to traditional techniques passed down through generations.
