Puiforcat’s Annecy collection is the brainchild of Jean Puiforcat, who led the silversmithing maison through the influential Art Deco epoch. Unchanged since 1930, the collection is defined by an architectural rounded edge to each piece – a perfect foil to the cutlery’s precise straightness – as exemplified by this soup ladle.

Meet the Maker:

Puiforcat

Across more than two centuries, Puiforcat’s expert artisans have replicated, refined and reinvented the craft of silver flatware and functional home objets, and the maison’s Parisian workshop is where it all happens. Behind closed doors, a variety of silversmithing, adornment and finishing techniques are employed to create the polished pieces, including signatures unique to Puiforcat. These include an age-old hand-hammering process known as planishing, spinning silver on a lathe to shape rounded objects, brazing to add functional or aesthetic accoutrements, chasing and etching to decorate, and a multi-stage buffing procedure that creates a mirror-like finish. Under Jean Puiforcat’s early 20th-century tenure, Puiforcat underwent an Art Deco metamorphosis, and many prototypes from that era endure today. Constructing these geometric designs requires its own cache of techniques, like the ratchet method to form stepped decoration and the classical goldsmithing tactics that produce facets.
