Palisander combined with sterling silver, a fine fluting of the sides crowned by silver beads in contrast to strong smooth casts. The profile of the coffee and tea service from 1928 has been one of the distinctive icons of decorative art for almost 90 years. The pieces (teapots, coffee maker, sugar bowl, milk jug, etc.) have walls sculpted with fine vertical grooves, while their rounded bodies in silver metal contrast harmoniously with their handles in rosewood. Completed abstraction, subtle transitions and fine-tuned contrasts are the hallmarks of the silverware created by Jean E. Puiforcat as a composition for individual connoisseurs.
Puiforcat’s main ingredient for the flawless glamour of their cutlery and table accessories is the attention to detail with which silver has been handcrafted by the renowned silversmiths of Puiforcat since 1820.
