What does the “PUSBYZ” mark mean?
The Puiforcat Byzance Sterling pattern, introduced in 2009 and continuing to the present, is a magnificent expression of opulent modern design infused with historical grandeur. Crafted in solid sterling silver, this collection takes inspiration from Byzantine art and architecture, reinterpreting its ornamental richness through the clean geometry and refined proportions characteristic of Puiforcat’s contemporary style. Each piece showcases meticulously balanced detailing — from sculpted handles to subtle textural contrasts — evoking the splendor of ancient craftsmanship while remaining distinctly modern. The name Byzance aptly reflects its aesthetic lineage: a dialogue between sacred elegance and sculptural precision. Executed with Puiforcat’s hallmark attention to weight, finish, and harmony, the Byzance Sterling pattern is both visually commanding and exquisitely tactile. It stands as a testament to the maison’s artistry in translating historic opulence into contemporary French luxury, making it one of Puiforcat’s most sophisticated modern designs.
