Pair of Paul Storr, English, sterling silver tureens or covered vegetable dishes, beautifully adorned with gadrooned rims, natural motifs, and a noble crest, from 1809 (George III era). They measure 14'' from handle to handle (10 1/2'' excluding the handles) by 11 1/2'' in height (height of the stands are 4 3/4''). Total silver weight is 93 troy ounces; the stands and the liners are original Sheffield plate. Hallmarks are shown. Paul Storr (1770-1844) is considered the greatest English silversmith of the Regency era, and his beautifully ornate silver reflected the rapidly changing world in which he lived.

He quickly became the most prominent silversmith of the nineteenth century, producing much of the silver purchased by King George III and King George IV. Much of Storr's success was due to the influence of Philip...

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...
