Description

Mirror-effect finish enhances the high quality of stainless steel, emphasizing shapes and design. The surfaces are polished with additives and mechanical brushes made of different materials, which smooth the stainless steel lending it a high gloss. Reflections enrich the object, make it even more precious.
The knife with an orfèvre hollow handle is typical of the finest cutlery collections. The blade is bonded to the handle by inserting a special cement paste filling that gives the knife an optimal balance. This is an artisanal process that is still carried out today entirely by hand.
The Sequoia flatware was created in the 1930s. Its aesthetic perfectly captures the spirit of the Arts Décoratifs movement, combining geometric rigor and bold design in its very linear construction. The Sequoia collection owes its name to its straight, masculine, faceted, angular handle. The blade of its dinner knife has been specifically designed to fit the unique line of the handle. This iconic collection of silverplated flatware was reissued in the 1990s by Ercuis as a tribute to the 1930s. This period was the golden era of the Ercuis\’ history, which then equipped transatlantic liners such as the Normandie and the France or even the mythical Orient-Express with its creations combining unique refinement and savoir-faire.
