Several years ago I bought some antique Puiforcat sterling in Paris, in the Marais District, about 10 place settings. I believe it is pre-1900. It has a lovely swan pattern. I have not been able to find anyone who can identify it. It might be Emile Puiforcat.

Does anyone know how to identify it? I have showed it to a number of people and would write to the Puriforcat factory if I could find them.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sounds as if you have some lovely flatware. Can you provide photos of the pattern and the marks on the pieces? This will help with identification.

For any of our interested forum participants in Tokyo, the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum is hosting an exhibition on Puiforcat until December 1, 2002. Here is a link to more information.

As a further note, Puiforcat became part of the Hermes Group in 1993.
