Ercuis "Transat"

The "Transat" collection by Ercuis embodies the golden age of ocean liner travel, capturing the effortless elegance of 1920s transatlantic voyages through its sleek, nautical-inspired design. Drawing its name from the French contraction for "Transatlantique," this series reflects the sophisticated modernity that defined luxury travel during the Art Deco era. The collection's distinctive feature lies in its streamlined silhouette – handles taper gracefully like a ship's prow, while subtle horizontal ribbing suggests the dynamic energy of cutting through waves. Available in sterling silver (925/1000) and silver-plated finishes, the "Transat" collection offers options for both collectors and contemporary hosts. The sterling silver version showcases a brilliant mirror polish that enhances the design's fluid lines, with each piece weighted (approximately 150 grams per place setting) for perfect balance during use. The collection's restrained ornamentation focuses on the beauty of pure form, with only minimal geometric engravings at the terminals recalling vintage luggage tags or ship railings. Comprising complete place settings and serving pieces, the "Transat" range brings the romance of historic voyages to modern tables. Its versatile aesthetic works equally well for formal dining or casual entertaining, appealing particularly to those who appreciate the nostalgic glamour of early 20th century travel. The collection stands as a testament to Ercuis's ability to transform historical inspiration into timeless tableware, where every piece tells a story of adventure and refined taste.
