Bloch & Eschwege - 273pc. Antique French 950 Sterling Silver Flatware Set, Chest
By Maison Bloch Eschwege 1, Jorgen Bloch
Located in Wilmington, DE
Bloch & Eschwege 273pc. Flatware Set – Description 1st Dibs Direct from Paris, A Stunning 273pc. Privately Commissioned Napoleon III Sterling Silver Flatware Set with Rare Mother-of-Pearl Handled Knives, Original 5 Drawer Lockable Storage Chest and 25 Amazing Serving Pieces by Two of France's Premier Silversmiths "Bloch & Eschwege" Silversmiths to the French Elite, in Superb Condition - circa 1930s. The history of silver-smithing in France is rich and illustrious, and many prominent firms have contributed to its legacy. Among these, Bloch & Eschwege stands out as an exemplar of craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic excellence. Founded in the 19th century, this renowned silversmith firm has left an indelible mark on the world of decorative arts. Bloch & Eschwege was established in the mid-19th century by two remarkable artisans, Joseph-Alexandre Bloch and Emile-Robert Eschwege. Both men were passionate about the art of silver-smithing, and their partnership laid the foundation for a firm that would set new standards of excellence in the craft. Joseph-Alexandre Bloch was born in 1828 in the heart of Paris, a city renowned for its artistic heritage. As a young man, Bloch exhibited an exceptional talent for metalwork, earning an apprenticeship with a prominent Parisian silversmith. This experience provided him with valuable training in the art of working with silver and other precious metals. Bloch's dedication and skill earned him recognition in the silversmithing community, setting the stage for his future partnership with Eschwege. Emile-Robert Eschwege, born in 1832, hailed from a family of skilled metalworkers. His upbringing was steeped in the traditions of silver-smithing, and he showed a remarkable aptitude for the craft from a young age. Eschwege's family background and his own determination to master the art of silver-smithing made him a formidable candidate to join forces with Bloch. In 1855, Bloch and Eschwege joined hands to establish their silversmith firm in Paris. Their partnership was not only rooted in a shared passion for the craft but also a vision to create exceptional pieces that would capture the essence of French artistic expression. The early works of Bloch & Eschwege were characterized by a fusion of traditional silversmithing techniques and innovative designs. Their creations included intricately designed flatware, tableware, and decorative pieces that showcased their mastery over silver, gold, and other precious metals. Their creations soon gained recognition among the elite of Parisian society, attracting a growing client base. Bloch & Eschwege's reputation grew rapidly due to their dedication to artistic excellence and innovation. The firm's artisans continuously pushed the boundaries of silver-smithing, employing novel techniques and materials to create one-of-a-kind pieces. As Bloch & Eschwege's reputation continued to grow, they attracted the attention of European royalty and aristocracy. Their works found their way into the homes of kings, queens, and nobles, solidifying their status as one of the premier silversmith firms in Europe. The firm's most prestigious commissions came from members of the French royal family, including Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie. These commissions included exquisite pieces such as ornate candelabras, intricately designed tea sets, and opulent dining services. Bloch & Eschwege's creations not only adorned the palaces of the Tuileries and Compiègne but also graced the tables of state banquets and diplomatic events. Bloch & Eschwege's works were showcased at various international exhibitions, earning them accolades and awards. Notable exhibitions included the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris and the 1873 World's Fair in Vienna. The firm's contributions to these events highlighted their role in elevating French silver-smithing to the world stage. Each stunning sterling piece in this amazing set is skillfully handcraft with the fine workmanship that has made the "House of Bloch & Eschwege" a favorite amongst the French Elite. Renowned for their elegant styling and the legendary quality of their flatware sets, this set is an exemplary testament to the quality and luxury typical of early 20th century France - La Belle Epoque ! This set is in extraordinarily good condition. Each sterling piece bears the hallmark of Master French Silversmith "Bloch & Eschwege" in addition to the French Government's Head of the Minerva 1 hallmark certifying a minimum of 950 sterling silver.

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...

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.

For over a thousand years, this lineage of skilled artisans has crafted exquisite silverware that transcends mere utility, evolving into a symbol of luxury, artistry, and French cultural heritage. The story of the Lapparra family's silversmithing prowess begins in the early 10th century. By the 12th century, the Lapparra name had become synonymous with craftsmanship, and their workshops produced intricate chalices, candlesticks, and reliquaries for churches across France. The 19th century witnessed the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the consolidation of his empire.

The Lapparra family's creations graced the tables of Napoleon's lavish banquets and adorned the Palais des Tuileries. Their innovative techniques, set new standards in silversmithing. Even after Napoleon's fall, the Lapparra legacy endured, as they continued to cater to the elite of Europe, from Russian tsars to British nobility. The Lapparra family's enduring legacy extends far beyond their magnificent silverware. Their contributions to the world of silversmithing have left an indelible mark on French culture and the global art community. Their ability to evolve with the times while preserving their commitment to quality and craftsmanship has made them a symbol of artistic excellence. The Lapparra name is not only associated with opulence and luxury but also with innovation and artistic expression. Their influence can be seen in the work of countless contemporary silversmiths who draw inspiration from their rich history. The Lapparra family's legacy continues into the 21st century, as the family's artisans continue to produce exquisite silverware, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities.

Puiforcat (Hermes) - 70pc Antique French Sterling Silver Flatware Set + Chests !
By Puiforcat
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...
