Puiforcat Normandie Bread Basket

A refined bread basket designed to bring structure and quiet elegance to the table. With its clean lines and balanced proportions, this silver-plated piece transforms a simple element of dining into something more intentional and considered. Originally designed in 1934 by Jean Puiforcat, this piece was created for the first-class dining rooms of the legendary ocean liner Normandie, which sailed between France and New York. The design reflects Puiforcat’s signature approach—geometric precision, minimal ornamentation, and a focus on proportion—hallmarks of the Art Deco movement. Why we chose this.

Materials: Silver-plated metal.

Care: Care We selected this piece for its restraint. Unlike more ornate serving pieces, it relies on proportion and form—making it one of the easiest ways to elevate a table without overwhelming it.
