Puiforcat
Puiforcat is France's great silversmith — founded in 1820, and since the 1920s associated with some of the finest Art Deco silver ever made, under the designer Jean Puiforcat. Now part of Hermès, it still produces flatware, hollowware, and objects of extraordinary craftsmanship. This is the place for the heirloom-grade silver service, the kind of object that gets passed down. Even if you're only looking, the Art Deco pieces are a lesson in restraint and line.

Avenue Matignon. The kind of object you buy once and pass on.
Heirloom territory — this is investment silver.
The Art Deco designs are the signature.
Worth visiting to see the craftsmanship even if you're not buying a service.
