What does the “PUSVIR” mark mean?
The Puiforcat Virgule Sterling pattern, introduced in 2009 and continuing to the present, is a masterful expression of contemporary French silversmithing. Crafted in solid sterling silver, this pattern is defined by its fluid, sculptural curves, which give the impression of motion captured in metal — the name Virgule meaning “comma” in French, symbolizing a graceful pause or continuation. Designed to balance form and gesture, each piece reflects Puiforcat’s philosophy of functional artistry. The Virgule pattern demonstrates the maison’s deep understanding of ergonomics and proportion, creating cutlery that feels natural in the hand while exuding visual poetry. The polished sterling surface enhances the design’s fluid lines, resulting in an object that is as tactilely satisfying as it is elegant. The Virgule Sterling collection epitomizes Puiforcat’s modern identity: heritage craftsmanship translated through contemporary design, uniting minimalism, motion, and artistry in pure silver form.
