About the Item
Direct from a Private Mansion in St. Tropez, a Stunning 19th Century 950 Sterling Silver and Vermeil Table Service by Premier French Silversmith "Boin Taburet", Consisting of a 322pc Flatware Set Plus a 15pc. Serving Platter Set in Their Classic Shell Pattern, Absolutely Magnificent, circa late 1890s. French silversmithing has long been renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, attention to detail, and historical significance. Among the esteemed names in this illustrious tradition, Boin-Taburet stands out as a beacon of excellence.
The history of Boin-Taburet is closely linked to the two families that merged to create this iconic firm. The story begins with the Boin family, where Alexis Boin, a skilled silversmith, laid the foundation of the firm. Boin's craftsmanship and artistic abilities were quickly recognized, and his works gained prominence during the early 19th century. The Taburet family, on the other hand, was equally esteemed in the silver-smithing world. Auguste Taburet, known for his intricate designs and fine workmanship, brought the Taburet name to the forefront of French silver-smithing. It was the union of these two families through marriage in 1845 that established the firm known as "Boin-Taburet."
The quality and craftsmanship of Boin-Taburet's silverware earned the firm a well-deserved reputation. Notably, Boin-Taburet received royal patronage from Emperor Napoleon III, which marked a significant milestone in their history. This recognition catapulted the firm to new heights, and they began creating exquisite pieces for the French royal court. Boin-Taburet's close ties with the royal court not only elevated its prestige but also allowed the silversmith to showcase its unparalleled craftsmanship on an international stage. The patronage of royalty served as a testament to the superior quality and aesthetic appeal of Boin-Taburet's creations, solidifying its reputation as the preeminent silversmith of its time.
Boin-Taburet's commitment to excellence did not go unnoticed, as evidenced by the numerous awards and accolades bestowed upon the renowned silversmith. At various international exhibitions and competitions, Boin-Taburet consistently garnered acclaim for its innovative designs, superior technical skill, and meticulous attention to detail. Among its notable accolades was the prestigious Grand Prix at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, where Boin-Taburet's masterpieces captivated audiences and earned universal praise from critics and connoisseurs alike. The silversmith's ability to blend tradition with innovation, coupled with its unwavering dedication to quality, set it apart as a paragon of excellence in the world of decorative arts.
At the heart of Boin-Taburet's success lies its unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Each piece produced by the esteemed silversmith is a testament to the mastery of its artisans, who painstakingly transform raw materials into works of art through a combination of traditional techniques and modern innovation. Boin-Taburet's craftsmen possess a wealth of knowledge passed down through generations, ensuring that each piece adheres to the highest standards of excellence. From the initial design concept to the final finishing touches, every step of the production process is executed with precision and care, resulting in objects of unparalleled beauty and sophistication.

Puiforcat (Hermes) - 246pc 950 Sterling Silver & Vermeil Flatware Set + Chest !
By Emile Puiforcat
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...
