Meet the Maker:

Puiforcat

Behind Puiforcat’s grand present belies a modest past; in 1820, brothers Émile and Joseph-Marie Puiforcat joined forces with their cousin, Jean-Baptiste Fuchs, to open a cutlery shop in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. Fast forward to 1902 and Louis-Victor Tabouret – the husband of Laure Puiforcat – assumed the helm, taking it from humble storefront to high-flying silversmith. Under his influence, dining rooms shone with sterling silver, capturing the history and glory of art de la table a la française. During the 1920s, creative control passed through Jean Puiforcat’s hands – the visionary behind collections with an Art Deco persuasion – before Hermès’ acquisition in 1993. Sterling silver is of the highest grade, which craftspeople in the Pantin-based workshop hammer, planish, spin, chase and engrave to reach the final, museum-worthy results.
