The Ercuis Story

In 1867, a young curate decided to rehabilitate a village both morally and economically by creating an artistic gold smithing tradition offering silverware with gold relief enamel decoration. Dinnerware quickly became the rage in Paris and the new managers of Orieverie de Ercuis turned to industrial manufacturing to produce their wares. During this time, they increased their production capacities to enable them to fulfill the orders for the large hotels. By becoming one of the largest hotel suppliers, Ercuis in turn snare some of the wealthiest clients around the globe. Today, Ercuis is still associated with opulence and wealth, because of the inherent quality that has never wavered from the advent of the company in 1867. Thus, the still outfit some of the world's most uxorious hotels such as the Plaza Athens, the Orient Express, Park Hyatt Vendome, and Apricus.

The Faberge Collection

Peter Carl Faberge (1846-1920) was the supreme craftsman of his era. As master designer to the Imperial Russian Court, he fashioned exquisite works of art for two Russian Czars and the Russian Imperial Court. During his lifetime, Faberge workshops have created over 200,000 objects d'art, including 50 Imperial eggs. We hope to pay tribute to the talent and artistry of Peter Carl Faberge through our collection. All the pieces in the collection incorporate the original designs of Faberg and are crafted in the highest European tradition with quality materials and faultless workmanship.

The Plata Lappas Collection

As technology has become more advanced, Plata Lappas has continued to refine its production, pioneering the most up-to date techniques to achieve near perfection, in the complex art of silversmithing. Plata Lappas uses a very special method of electrolysis to create its lustrous hard silver coating. Thousands of tiny, iridescent silver crystals combine to produce silverplate comparable in hardness to metal sheeting produced by rolling. All holloware pieces are manufactured with a hard metal base composition, an alloy of metals which gives each item the superior strength necessary for years of continuous usage and enjoyment.

Mariposa

Design is essential to a modern vision of life. In Brillante we celebrate the voluptuous forms and ever-new textures of aluminum - a flexible array of serveware collections with an enormous range of themes and moods.

It may come as a surprise to some that Simon Pearce is an actual person and not just a well-known custom trademark for high quality glassware and pottery. Raised in County Cork Ireland, Simon Pearce began his career in glass at the Royal College of Art in London and worked in some of Europe's most renowned glass houses. These wine glasses, martinis, pilsners, decanters, lamps, hurricanes, vases, bowls, candlesticks and cake plates feature an intricate, internal air twist. This is an old and nearly extinct technique in hand-blown glass design. Capturing such intricate air patterns within glass has largely vanished due to the skill required in its creation. Each piece in the Stratton Collection demands rare talent and precision by expert glassblowers. In fact, only a handful of Simon Pearce's 70+ artisans can create the Stratton designs. The first gather of glass is carefully spun and then crimped, using special tools made in our workshop. This creates air grooves in the warm glass that are then covered with a second gather, trapping the air inside. Next, the glassblower rhythmically manipulates the formation of air and glass to produce the internal air twist. Finally, the piece is removed from the pontil iron and cooled. The result is exceptional and the effect is exquisite.
