In the early 19th century, the symbols of the ancient world provided the major subjects for the decorative arts, reflecting the desire of Emperor Napoleon I to proclaim the greatness of his reign. Designs are symmetrical, the straight lines are strict, underlined by laurels and palmettes, as well as animals, including bees, sphinxes and eagles. Ercuis's “Empire” collection elegantly evokes the decorative themes of the period, and its compositions feature on lavishly decorated pieces that have been painstakingly assembled, soldered, bordered and engraved in our workshop.

Transat is a throwback to the years of the grand ocean liners, between 1930 and 1960, when Ercuis was already supplying silverware for the legendary Île de France, the Normandie and the France. Today Ercuis is a byword in luxury travel, working with the most prestigious hotels and travel brands, such as the Orient Express, and with private yachts and jets. This beautiful line of tableware evokes the sleek modernism of the Thirties and Forties, with round, generous forms decorated with finely engraved contours—a classic feature of fine metalwork that has come to represents Ercuis expertise.

For 93 years after setting off on its maiden voyage from Paris to Constantinople on 4 October 1883, the Orient Express never ceased to fire the collective imagination. It was internationally famous as the backdrop for historic events, and for the celebrities who travelled on it. Well-known books and films have commemorated the luxury, romanticism, adventure and uniqueness that still characterise the Orient Express today. When James B. Sherwood undertook the revival of the Venice Simplon Orient-Express in 1977, he wished to restore the train’s décor to its superb original condition. He entrusted Gérard Gallet with the interior decoration to reflect the spirit of luxury and distinction of the roaring twenties. Ercuis was asked to design an original range of tableware engraved with the initials VSOE. Today, in agreement with VSOE, Ercuis has made selected pieces from a tea and coffee service available to its clients so that they too may sample the fabulous world evoked by the Orient Express.

The Louis XV style, or Rocaille, pushes the fanciful opulence of the Regency period even further. This style is one of the most imaginative in the history of the decorative arts and has, over the centuries, been recognised as the most perfect, defining embodiment of French taste. It is typified by plant motifs, shells, flowers and leaves, arranged with a pleasant asymmetry and the lines of the compositions entwined in convoluted arabesques.

The Rencontre holloware collection distinguishes itself by the flawlessness of its lines and its elegant and sober border which decorates each piece.

The Régence style corresponds to the transition period between 1715 and 1723 during which Philippe d’Orléans ruled as Regent after the death of Louis XIV, until Louis XV came of age, i.e. for 13 years and one day. In the decorative arts this was reflected in a resurgence of imagination and elegance, in contrast to the austere style of the Louis XIV period. New patterns appeared: shells feature prominently, with other natural themes, lines curve gracefully and shapes become more refined.The pieces of the Ercuis Régence collection appeared in the catalogue as early as 1903, and have become classics of silversmithing. The tray was originally part of a tea set. As for the five branch and six-light candelabra, it is made of cast bronze and weighs five kilos. The hand-finished chasing work requires eight hours of work.

Boasting strong Art Deco inspiration from the geometry and the radicalism of its contours, the Galet collection rapidly imposed itself as an emblem of Ercuis’ creation and know-how. It perfectly represents the core values of the silversmith: simplicity, elegance, and hedonism.

The duck press is used for a time-honored ritual that contributes to the pleasure of true gastronomy. First the duck is killed, not bled, then cooked for 15 minutes. It is presented this way to the guests, before the aiguillettes are cut from the breast fillet and flambeed with cognac. The drumsticks are cooked again and presented for the second helping. The carcass undergoes a strong pressing in the press. The blood expressed is mixed with the giblets, sieved, and reduced, before being thickened with Foie Gras.

Ercuis's “Louis XV” collection recalls this special period, particularly in the elaborately worked kettle, consisting of a chiselled cast iron base supported by four balls of ebony, allowing it to tilt for pouring and keep the water hot over an alcohol burner. The moveable handle has an ebony handgrip. The creation of this piece takes eight hours, including assembly, soldering and finishing.

In the early 19th century, the symbols of the ancient world provided the major subjects for the decorative arts, reflecting the desire of Emperor Napoleon I to proclaim the greatness of his reign. _x000D_ Designs are symmetrical; the straight lines are strict, underlined by laurels and palmettes, as well as animals, including bees, sphinxes and eagles. _x000D_ Ercuis’ “Empire” collection elegantly evokes the decorative themes of the period, and its compositions feature on lavishly decorated pieces that have been painstakingly assembled, soldered, bordered and engraved in our workshop.

The Régence style corresponds to the transition period between 1715 and 1723 during which Philippe d’Orléans ruled as Regent after the death of Louis XIV, until Louis XV came of age, i.e. for 13 years and one day. In the decorative arts this was reflected in a resurgence of imagination and elegance, in contrast to the austere style of the Louis XIV period. New patterns appeared: shells feature prominently, with other natural themes, lines curve gracefully and shapes become more refined.The pieces of the Ercuis Régence collection appeared in the catalogue as early as 1903, and have become classics of silversmithing. The tray was originally part of a tea set. As for the five branch and six-light candelabra, it is made of cast bronze and weighs five kilos. The hand-finished chasing work requires eight hours of work.

For 93 years after setting off on its maiden voyage from Paris to Constantinople on 4 October 1883, the Orient Express never ceased to fire the collective imagination. It was internationally famous as the backdrop for historic events, and for the celebrities who travelled on it. Well-known books and films have commemorated the luxury, romanticism, adventure and uniqueness that still characterise the Orient Express today. When James B. Sherwood undertook the revival of the Venice Simplon Orient-Express in 1977, he wished to restore the train’s décor to its superb original condition. He entrusted Gérard Gallet with the interior decoration to reflect the spirit of luxury and distinction of the roaring twenties. Ercuis was asked to design an original range of tableware engraved with the initials VSOE. Today, in agreement with VSOE, Ercuis has made selected pieces from a tea and coffee service available to its clients so that they too may sample the fabulous world evoked by the Orient Express.

The Louis XV style, or Rocaille, pushes the fanciful opulence of the Regency period even further. This style is one of the most imaginative in the history of the decorative arts and has, over the centuries, been recognised as the most perfect, defining embodiment of French taste. It is typified by plant motifs, shells, flowers and leaves, arranged with a pleasant asymmetry and the lines of the compositions entwined in convoluted arabesques.
