Note: Founded in 1820 and acquired by the Puiforcat family in 1857, Puiforcat holds a unique place in the history of French silversmithing. Serving an international clientele of collectors and prominent families, it is now part of the Hermès Group. While Jean Puiforcat (1897–1945) remains famous for his Art Deco creations, the manufactory is also renowned for the exceptional quality of its solid silver work, characterized by precise proportions and meticulous craftsmanship. Pieces stamped with the Puiforcat mark are among the most sought-after examples of 19th- and 20th-century French silverwork.
