labarbedor Posts: 353 Registered: Jun 2002	posted 04-16-2003 11:34 AM I am not sure this is what you are asking, but Puiforcat was a deco silversmith well treated in "Argenterie Art Nouveau et Art Deco" by Annelies Krekel-AAlberse which covers U.S.,British,and European silver with marks at the end. My copy is in French, I am not sure if there is a translation available. Otherwise a good book which really ignores Puiforcat is "Marks and Monograms of the Modern Movement 1875-30" by Malcolm Haslam really a mark book with a paragraph on each. It covers the same countries but also covers ceramics, glass, graphics, metalwork etc. I hope this helps, both books are worth buying. Maurice IP: Logged
threewings Posts: 22 Registered: Apr 2003	posted 04-16-2003 09:40 PM Thank for your reply. The first book sounds interesting. (I now have the second). I adore Puiforcat, there just happens to be much information available on him everywhere and much less on many later continental silversmiths and jewellery makers right up to the present day. Vera.
