Puiforcat Cannes 5 Piece Place Setting, Sterling Silver

The Cannes Sterling Silver Flatware collection was created by Jean de Puiforcat in 1928. This magnificent cutlery set is free from superfluous ornamentation and features no extraneous embellishments beyond the five fluted rings on their handles. This collection’s strong personality highlights a blend of concise geometry while making powerful use of volume. Thus creating a disciplined silhouette that is sometimes compared to the Art Deco facade of the Martinez Hotel in Cannes. Puiforcat loved this place dearly, which is one of the reasons the collection stole the heart of the silversmith-cum-designer, who chose this cutlery set to grace the tables of his wedding when he married Maria Estevez.
