Direct from a private Parisian mansion, this exquisite 299-piece antique French sterling silver flatware set in the coveted Vauban pattern by Puiforcat (now owned by Hermès) is a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship. Crafted in the 1890s, the set is in near-new condition with no monograms, featuring additional dinner forks and Mother of Pearl-handled knives for a truly luxurious dining experience.
The Vauban set, made from 950 sterling silver—surpassing the standard 925—epitomizes Puiforcat’s dedication to excellence. Each piece, from forks to fish knives, is meticulously designed with ergonomic handles, elegant lines, and subtle curves, blending Louis XVI-inspired tradition with modern aesthetics. The set’s versatility caters to diverse dining occasions, ensuring a refined table setting.
Founded in 1820, Puiforcat earned royal patronage, including from King Louis-Philippe, and accolades like the 1867 Paris Universal Exposition gold medal. Since joining Hermès in 1993, Puiforcat continues its legacy, merging heritage with innovation.
