Direct from Paris, a stunning sterling silver table serving set of 2 magnificent round serving platters and 1 covered vegetable server with sterling interior by one of the world’s premier silversmiths “Odiot” in near new condition and with no monograms on any of the pieces. The art of silversmithing is one of the most refined expressions of craftsmanship, blending functionality with artistic beauty. Among the luminaries of this tradition, the French silversmith Odiot stands as a paragon of excellence, innovation, and timeless elegance. Founded in the late 18th century, Odiot has become synonymous with luxury, precision, and artistry, creating pieces that transcend mere utility to become works of art. The story of Odiot begins in 1690, when Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot established a silversmith workshop in Paris. However, it was under the leadership of his grandson, Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot, that the brand truly flourished. Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot, a master silversmith and visionary artist, took the helm in the late 18th century and transformed the company into a beacon of luxury and refinement. Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot was deeply influenced by the neoclassical style, which emerged in the late 18th century as a response to the ornate Rococo style. Neoclassicism emphasized clean lines, symmetrical forms, and a return to the classical ideals of ancient Greece and Rome. Under Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot's guidance, the brand embraced these principles, creating pieces that were not only visually striking but also meticulously crafted. This period marked a golden age for Odiot, as the brand's creations became synonymous with elegance, sophistication, and luxury. At the heart of Odiot's enduring appeal is its unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Each piece of Odiot silverware is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans who create it. The brand's workshops are a blend of traditional techniques and modern technology, ensuring that every item meets the highest standards of excellence. The process of crafting Odiot silverware is labor-intensive and requires a high degree of precision. Each piece is meticulously shaped, polished, and finished by hand, with artisans often spending hundreds of hours on a single item. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of Odiot's creations, from the intricate engraving and chasing to the flawless mirror-like finish. The brand's commitment to quality extends to its selection of materials, with only the finest silver, gold, and precious stones used in its designs. This dedication to excellence has earned Odiot a reputation as one of the world's premier silversmiths, with its pieces coveted by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Throughout its history, Odiot has been the recipient of numerous awards and accolades, cementing its status as a leader in the field of fine silverware. The brand's achievements have been recognized at prestigious international exhibitions and fairs, where its creations have consistently garnered praise for their artistry and craftsmanship. One of the most significant milestones in Odiot's history came in 1825, when the brand was awarded the Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. This prestigious award was a testament to Odiot's innovative designs and its ability to blend tradition with modernity. The Exposition Universelle was a defining moment for the decorative arts, and Odiot's success at the event solidified its reputation as a pioneer of the neoclassical style. In addition to its Grand Prix win, Odiot has received numerous other honors, including awards from the Société des Artistes Français and the Legion of Honor. These accolades are a reflection of the brand's commitment to excellence and its contributions to the field of decorative arts. Odiot's achievements have also been recognized by the French government, which has designated the brand as a "Living Heritage Company" (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant), a distinction that underscores its role in preserving and promoting France's artisanal traditions. Odiot's reputation for excellence and its commitment to the highest standards of craftsmanship have earned it the patronage of royalty and aristocrats throughout Europe. The brand's creations have graced the tables of some of the most illustrious royal families, cementing its status as a purveyor of luxury and refinement. One of the most notable examples of Odiot's royal patronage is its association with the French imperial family. During the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, Odiot was commissioned to create a series of exquisite silverware pieces for the imperial court. These pieces, characterized by their opulent designs and meticulous craftsmanship, were used in state banquets and official ceremonies, reflecting the grandeur and sophistication of the French Empire. In addition to its ties with the French imperial family, Odiot has also enjoyed the patronage of other European royal families. The brand's creations have been favored by the British royal family, with several pieces being used in royal households and official events. The British royal family's appreciation for Odiot's craftsmanship is a testament to the brand's ability to create pieces that embody timeless elegance and sophistication. Odiot's royal patronage extends beyond France and Britain to other European monarchies. The brand has been commissioned by the Russian imperial family to create bespoke silverware pieces for use in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. These pieces, crafted from 950 sterling silver, are adorned with intricate engravings and embellishments that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Russia. The brand's association with European royal families is not limited to the past; it continues to this day. Odiot's creations are still sought after by royalty and aristocrats who appreciate the brand's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The brand's ability to maintain its royal patronage over the centuries is a testament to its enduring appeal and its status as a symbol of luxury and refinement. Among Odiot's most iconic creations are its 950 sterling silver tableware pieces, like this stunning 5-piece set, which exemplify the brand's mastery of design and craftsmanship. These pieces are not only functional but also works of art, reflecting the brand's commitment to beauty, functionality, and timeless design. Odiot's covered vegetable servers are a perfect blend of form and function, designed to enhance the dining experience while adding a touch of elegance to the table. These servers are crafted from 950 sterling silver, a material that enhances their beauty and ensures their longevity. The servers feature a sleek, cylindrical form with a domed lid, creating a sense of harmony and balance. One of the most striking features of the covered vegetable servers is their decorative elements, which include finely chased patterns, engraved motifs, and hand-applied gilding. These embellishments add a touch of opulence to the servers, making them true works of art. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the design, from the delicate fluting on the body to the intricate handles shaped like classical forms. The servers are often passed down through generations, becoming cherished family heirlooms that embody the enduring legacy of French silversmithing. Odiot's serving platters are another example of the brand's commitment to excellence and craftsmanship. These platters are designed to showcase the beauty of the food while adding a touch of luxury to the dining experience. The platters feature a sleek, rectangular form with a raised edge, creating a sense of balance and proportion.
