Societe Parisienne d'Orfevrerie (Odiot) - 184pc. French Vermeil Flatware Set
Located in Wilmington, DE
Direct from a Private Chateau, a Stunning 184pc. Gold Plated Sterling Silver (Vermeil) Flatware Set by Internationally Known French Silversmiths "Societe Parisienne d'Orfevrerie" Complete with Original 6-Drawer Storage Cabinet and 16 Magnificent Serving Pieces, Superb Condition - circa 1911.- NO MONOGRAMS. The Société Parisienne d'Orfèvrerie, a prominent French silversmith firm, has left an indelible mark on the world of decorative arts. Established in the heart of Paris during the 19th century, the firm quickly rose to prominence, becoming synonymous with exquisite craftsmanship, innovative design, and unparalleled quality in silverware. Founded in 1837 by master silversmith Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot, a visionary artisan with a passion for creating exceptional silver pieces; the firm's commitment to quality quickly attracted the attention of aristocrats, royalty, and the burgeoning bourgeoisie. Under the leadership of subsequent generations of the Odiot family, the firm continued to thrive, adapting to changing tastes and styles while maintaining its dedication to superior craftsmanship. Société Parisienne d'Orfèvrerie's list of accomplishments is as extensive as it is impressive. The firm's silverware adorned the tables of European royalty, including Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie, establishing its reputation as the preferred purveyor of luxury items. The intricate silver pieces produced by the firm were not merely functional objects but symbols of status, wealth, and refined taste. One of the firm's standout achievements was its participation in the Exposition Universelle of 1855 in Paris. The international exhibition provided a platform for Société Parisienne d'Orfèvrerie to showcase its finest creations to a global audience, earning accolades and further solidifying its status as a premier silversmith firm. The recognition of Société Parisienne d'Orfèvrerie's excellence extended beyond the acclaim of its clientele. The firm received numerous awards and honors for its contributions to the field of decorative arts. At the Exposition Universelle of 1867, Société Parisienne d'Orfèvrerie was awarded the prestigious Legion of Honor, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic innovation. Subsequent international exhibitions, including the Exposition Universelle of 1878 and 1889, brought further accolades to the firm. The awards bestowed upon Société Parisienne d'Orfèvrerie underscored its global impact and the recognition of its silverware as exemplars of artistic and technical achievement. Each piece (except for the coffee spoons) in this amazing set bears the hallmark of Master French Silversmith "Societe Parisienne d'Orfevrerie" in addition to the French Government's "Head of the Minerva-1" hallmark. The coffee spoons bears the manufacturer's hallmark "SL" and are in gold plated 800 silver. The set is of exceptional quality and craftsmanship and includes the original custom made storage chest that measures 51 cm. in length, 43 cm. high and 37 cm. deep. All weights and measures below are approximate: 12 Dinner Knives - Stainless Blades 25.50 cm. 100 grams 12 Dinner Forks 21.30 cm. 82 grams 12 Tablespoons 21.50 cm. 86 grams 12 Luncheon Knives - Stainless Blades 21.50 cm. 65 grams 12 luncheon / Dessert Forks 18.50 cm. 52 grams 12 Luncheon / Dessert Spoons 18.30 cm. 52 grams 12 Fish Forks 18.30 cm. 56 grams 12 Fish Knives 22.00 cm. 64 grams 12 Dessert / Custard Spoons 18.50 cm. 57 grams 12 Oyster Forks 12.30 cm. 21 grams 12 Teaspoons 13.50 cm. 27 grams 12 Ice Cream Spoons 13.50 cm. 28 grams 12 Coffee Spoons (different pattern) 10.50 cm. 18 grams 12 Cake Forks 14.20 cm. 26 grams 1 Large Salad Serving Spoon 26.00 cm. 117 grams 1 Large Salad Serving Fork 26.00 cm. 115 grams 1 Serving Knife with Stainless Blade 20.50 cm. 76 grams 1 Cheese Serving Knife - Stainless Blade 25.00 cm. 99 grams 1 Gigot Holder 20.00 cm. 149 grams 1 Butter Serving Knife...

Puiforcat (Hermes) - 246pc 950 Sterling Silver & Vermeil Flatware Set + Chest !
Located in Wilmington, DE
The worlds of luxury and craftsmanship often intersect in fascinating ways, exemplifying the pursuit of perfection through design and skill. Two iconic brands that embody this union of artistry and elegance are Puiforcat, the French silversmith, and Hermès, the esteemed fashion house. Despite their distinct histories and expertise, both brands share a common thread of dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and timeless design. The House of Puiforcat (now owned by Hermes) was founded in 1820 by Emile Puiforcat, a visionary silversmith who sought to redefine traditional craftsmanship with a modern perspective. The brand quickly gained recognition for its commitment to exceptional quality and its avant-garde designs that pushed the boundaries of silversmithing. In its early years, Puiforcat became a favored choice for French aristocracy and European nobility, solidifying its reputation as a leading silverware manufacturer. Hermès, a name synonymous with luxury, began its journey in 1837 as a harness workshop in Paris. Founded by Thierry Hermès, the brand initially focused on crafting high-quality leather goods, primarily for horse riders. Over the years, Hermès expanded its offerings and ventured into the world of luxury fashion, establishing itself as one of the most prestigious names in the industry. What sets Hermès apart is its unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and its dedication to the creation of enduring, exquisite pieces. The relationship between Puiforcat (Hermès) and its artisans is a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence. While Puiforcat and Hermès operate in distinct domains—silversmithing and fashion—both brands share a deep-rooted commitment to traditional craftsmanship and quality. This commitment extends not only to the materials used but also to the expertise of the artisans who transform these materials into exceptional creations. The stories of Puiforcat and Hermès, though distinct in their origins and crafts, converge in their shared commitment to craftsmanship, tradition, and timeless design. The legacies of these two iconic brands are not just tales of luxury but narratives of artistry, dedication, and a pursuit of perfection. Puiforcat's innovative silversmithing and Hermès's enduring leather craftsmanship stand as beacons of excellence in their respective fields. Together, they remind us that true luxury is not just about wealth or opulence but is a manifestation of the enduring connection between art and craftsmanship. Puiforcat and Hermès have...

Vintage, New and Antique Sterling Silver

Dining and entertaining changed drastically when we began to set our tables with sterling silver for holiday gatherings, wedding receptions, engagement parties and, in some of today’s homes, everyday meals.

Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. It is easy to see why it has always been sought after: It is durable, strong and beautiful. (Louis XIV had tables made entirely of silver.) Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver — the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper.

Neoclassical-style sterling-silver goods in Europe gained popularity in the late 18th century — a taste for sterling-silver tableware as well as tea sets had taken shape — while in the United States, beginning in the 19th century, preparing the dinner table with sterling-silver flatware had become somewhat of a standard practice. Indeed, owning lots of silver goods during the Victorian era was a big deal. Back then, displaying fine silver at home was a status symbol for middle-class American families. And this domestic silver craze meant great profitability for legendary silversmith manufacturers such as Reed & Barton, Gorham Manufacturing Company and the International Silver Company, which was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898, a major hub of silver manufacturing nicknamed “Silver City.”

Today, special occasions might call for ceremonial silver designed by Tiffany & Co. or the seductive sterling-silver cutlery from remarkable Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, but there really doesn’t have to be an event on the calendar to trot out your finest tableware.

Event- and wedding-planning company maestro Tara Guérard says that some “investment pieces,” such as this widely enamored alloy, should see everyday use, and we’re inclined to agree.

“Sterling-silver flatware is a must-have that you can use every single day, even to eat cereal,” she says. “Personally, I want a sterling-silver goblet set for 12 to 20; I would use them every time I had a dinner party. Ultimately, there are no criteria for buying vintage pieces: Buy what you love, and make it work.”
