Founded in 1820, the French silversmithing house has established itself as a beacon of excellence, revered for its meticulous attention to detail, innovative designs, and timeless elegance. Over the centuries, Puiforcat has garnered a reputation not only for its exquisite silverware but also for its association with royalty, prestigious awards, and a significant collaboration with the esteemed Hermès Group. One of its most notable creations is the 950-sterling silver Vauban model flatware set, which epitomizes the brand's commitment to perfection.
