Ercuis

Founded in 1867 by a French priest, Adrien Céleste Pillon and named after the small French village in the region of Oise, Ercuis originally created silver items for use in church services before branching out into dinnerware and silverware for royal houses. Renowned for its artistic silverware, and being one of the leading silversmiths in France, Ercuis creations are characterised by an extremely high-quality of workmanship, being works of passionate craftsmen who care about detail.

The House of Ercuis

Ercuis is one of the established names of French orfèvrerie, the silversmith's art applied to the table. Its pieces are made in silver plate and in sterling silver, and its patterns run from classical designs drawn from the French decorative styles of the eighteenth century to clean, contemporary lines, so that the same house can dress a formal dinner and an everyday table.

A fork or a spoon passes through many hands before it is finished: the blank is cut and shaped, the pattern is struck, the edges are smoothed and the surface is polished until it is ready for the table. The same care goes into serving dishes, candlesticks, frames and desk objects, which allow a setting to be completed in a single style. Ercuis is closely linked with the Limoges porcelain house Raynaud, and the two are often presented together as Ercuis & Raynaud, silver and porcelain conceived to share a table.
