Puiforcat (Hermes) - 70pc Antique French Sterling Silver Flatware Set + Chests !
Located in Wilmington, DE
Direct from Paris, a stunning 70pc. antique French 19th century sterling silver flatware set by France’s premier silversmith “Puiforcat”, currently owned by Hermes, in excellent condition and with individual storage chests. The name Puiforcat resonates deeply within the annals of French luxury, embodying the pinnacle of silversmithing craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation. With a history spanning nearly two centuries, the house of Puiforcat is synonymous with unparalleled quality, royal patronage, and an enduring legacy that seamlessly blends classical elegance with modern artistry. From its foundation in the early 19th century to its contemporary association with the luxury conglomerate Hermès, Puiforcat has maintained its status as a paragon of excellence in the creation of sterling silver flatware and objets d'art. The story of Puiforcat begins in 1820, when Émile Puiforcat established the silversmithing company in Paris. Initially focused on the production of flatware, the company quickly gained a reputation for its meticulous craftsmanship and exquisite designs. The Puiforcat family, over several generations, maintained a steadfast commitment to the highest standards of silversmithing. Each piece produced by the workshop was meticulously handcrafted, with an attention to detail that elevated Puiforcat above many of its contemporaries. The company’s dedication to quality was not merely about aesthetics; it was a philosophical approach that viewed silversmithing as an art form. Every piece, whether a simple spoon or an ornate candelabra, was treated as a work of art, designed to bring beauty and elegance to everyday life. Puiforcat’s reputation for excellence did not go unnoticed by the elite of French society. The house soon became a favored silversmith among the aristocracy and royalty, further solidifying its status as a purveyor of luxury. The association with the French royal family was a significant milestone for Puiforcat, as it brought the company into the upper echelons of French society and culture. One of the most notable patrons of Puiforcat was the Duke of Orléans, a member of the Bourbon royal family. The Duke’s patronage was instrumental in elevating Puiforcat’s profile, as it led to commissions for some of the most prestigious households in Europe. These commissions often involved the creation of bespoke pieces that were tailored to the specific tastes and requirements of the clients, showcasing Puiforcat’s ability to blend traditional craftsmanship with personalized design. The royal patronage extended beyond France’s borders as well, with Puiforcat receiving commissions from various European courts. This international recognition helped the company to expand its influence and cement its position as one of the leading silversmiths in Europe. The ability to cater to such discerning clients required not only exceptional craftsmanship but also an understanding of the cultural and aesthetic nuances that defined different European courts. Puiforcat’s success in this regard is a testament to the company’s versatility and artistic sensibility. At the heart of Puiforcat’s enduring appeal is its commitment to creating the finest sterling silver flatware in the world. The company’s 950 sterling silver flatware sets are considered some of the best in the industry, renowned for their exceptional quality, durability, and timeless beauty. Sterling silver is an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. However, Puiforcat goes a step further by using 950 sterling silver, which contains 95% pure silver. This higher silver content gives the flatware a more luminous finish and a greater resistance to tarnishing, making it ideal for both everyday use and special occasions. The process of creating Puiforcat’s sterling silver flatware is a labor-intensive one, requiring the skill and expertise of master silversmiths. Each piece is handcrafted using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. This includes the meticulous process of shaping, hammering, and polishing the silver to achieve the desired form and finish. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the flatware, from the perfectly balanced weight to the intricate engravings that adorn many of the pieces. One of the hallmarks of Puiforcat’s flatware...

In 1630, aged about 20, he went to Paris to join the French Guards on the recommendation of a relative of his mother, the lord of Tréville, who also appears in Dumas' novels as his protector . It was at this time that the young Charles decided to adopt the surname d'Artagnan, that of his mother's family. The paternal branch in fact belonged to the bourgeoisie, and Charles preferred to use the surname that would have given him more prestige. Thus it was that the royal d'Artagnan did 15 years of military service until Cardinal Mazarin...

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.”
