Puiforcat Silver

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1820, Jean-Baptist Fuchs and the Puiforcat brothers (Joseph-Marie and Emile) entered into a partnership to produce high quality silver products creating The House of Puiforcat - now owned by Hermes. Since inception the House of Puiforcat has been recognized as France's premier supplier of high quality sterling silver flatware known for their elegant, traditional styling and legendary quality. Puiforcat's bench mark or "hallmark" is an "EP"(within lozenge). This is usually followed by a mark indicating the quality of sterling, the highest being the poinçon de garantie premier titre, indicating .950 sterling.
