Puiforcat is a French silversmith under the Hermes group, crafting sterling silver flatware and hollowware since 1820. The maison is celebrated for Jean Puiforcat's Art Deco masterworks and continues to produce handcrafted silver tableware at the highest level of the craft.
Puiforcat is one of the great names in French silver and represents the pinnacle of silversmithing applied to tableware. Founded in 1820 and now part of the Hermes family, the house produces flatware, hollowware, and serving pieces of extraordinary refinement. The Art Deco-influenced designs of Jean Puiforcat in the 1920s and 30s remain the houses creative high-water mark -- pieces that are simultaneously functional tableware and museum-worthy sculpture. Contemporary collections maintain this commitment to clean geometry and impeccable proportion. The hand-finishing on each piece is visible and tactile: silver that has been worked by skilled hands simply feels different from machine-produced alternatives. Under Hermes stewardship, the brand has maintained its standards while benefiting from broader distribution and brand infrastructure. The pricing is ultra-luxury territory, appropriate for the materials and craftsmanship involved. Puiforcat stands virtually alone in offering silver tableware of this caliber in the modern market.
