Odiot Centerpieces
Founded in 1690 by silversmith Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot, the house of Odiot became quickly known as one of the best gold and silver workshops in France, specializing in decorative objects and cutlery.
The company found early favor from the court of reigning French king Louis XV, which laid the groundwork for later success. Odiot achieved even more prominence under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Gaspard’s grandson, Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot, who took over the family business as a master in 1785. Odiot landed high-profile commissions by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, which translated into additional commissions by other royal families across Europe.
In 1827, Jean-Baptiste Claude handed the company to his son, Charles Nicolas Odiot, who would serve as the official supplier to King Louis-Philippe I and the Orléans royal family. Charles Nicolas specialized in Rococo-style silverware. The next-generation Odiot master, Jean-Baptiste Gustave Odiot, became the official supplier of silver to the czar of Russia and managed the house’s largest order to date: a 3,000-piece set of solid-gold dinnerware for Sa’id Pasha, the viceroy of Egypt.
Today, Odiot continues to produce exemplary silver and gold wares, from decorative objects to flatware, upholding the fine standards of the centuries-old brand. Odiot works can be found in museum collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre in Paris.

Antique Odiot Solid Silver Gilt Royal Presentation Vase, Paris, circa 1845
By Odiot
Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent
Antique 19th century unique and exceptionally rare French solid silver figural vase and cover, of quatrefoil form, the base and handles mounted with cast cherubs and the surfaces richly chased with masks, arabesques and other motifs, equestrian group finial, the gilt interiors of the liner and cover engraved with important French and English inscriptions.
All parts hallmarked French silver (Minerva's head, 950 high standard), Paris, year 1845, Maker's mark for Maison Odiot, and further signed Odiot Aparis".
Maison Odiot is considered the best French silversmith of his generation and is the successor of the famous dynasty of French silversmiths. His father was Jean-Baptiste-Coude Odiot, Napoleon's silversmith and the firm produced exhibition pieces for all the 19th century World Exhibitions and the most important Royal families of the world, such as the Tsars of Russia, Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria, Said Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt.
The presentation was widely reported in the Press:
‘Presentation to David Hutcheson, Esq., by the ex-royal family of France.
‘We are happy to learn that Mr. David Hutcheson, the able managing partner of the Highland Steam-boat Company, has just been presented by the ex-Royal family of France with a handsome and very valuable silver vase, ornamented with gilt figures, in acknowledgement of the courtesy and attention which that gentleman paid to the Royal exiles during their late tour through the western Highlands. The vase consists of a plateau, with a cup, or plate, supported on a pillar of silver richly chased. The corners of the plateau consist of beautiful and massive gilt figures in filigree work; the handles of the vase are ornamented in a similar manner, and the cover is surmounted by a beautifully executed rearing horse in gild silver, forming one of the most massive and beautiful table ornaments which we have ever seen. The workmanship is by the celebrated Odiot of Paris. There is no inscription upon this very valuable present; but we understand it is the intention of Mr. Hutcheson to have the following graceful letter, which accompanied the gift, engraved in the inside of the plate.
(The Glasgow Herald, Monday, 15 September 1851, p. 5b).
The inscription on the interior of the liner reads as follows:
‘Presented to David Hutcheson by The Queen Marie Amelie and her Sons The Duke de Nemours & Prince de Joinville Accompanied by a Letter of which the following is a COPY
‘Claremont, le 6 Sept. 1851.
‘Monsieur, La Reine Marie Amélie et les Princes ses fils ont gardé le meilleur souvenir des soins que vois avez pris de S.M. et de L.L.A.A.R.R. Durant leur sejour in Ecosse.
‘S.M. et L.L.A.A.R.R. desirent que vous puissiez en conserver le témoignage; en consequence, je suis chargé de vous informer que vous recevrez en leur nom, une coupe, que S.M. et L.L.A.A.R.R. vous priet d’accepter à titre de remerciment.
