Odiot

Every collection has nothing to do with ordinary retail. Made from solid sterling silver and thick, haute couture-grade vermeil, each piece undergoes a complete custom design and personalization process, going through tailored design stages and intense, complex hand forging.

We invite you to explore this refined French silver manufacture. Discover more than just their well-known designs, but truly bespoke options available within their fine flatware.

The Odiot: More Than Just Luxury

Investing in Odiot silver is a privilege reserved for a select few. It goes far beyond the price tag — these magnificent creations belong in a world of their own. Crafted from excellent metalls, they demand a distinct lifestyle and meticulous, specialized maintenance.

While Christofle historically became a go-to for diplomats and the upper-middle class, this French house was operating on a whole different level, supplying imperial palaces of tsars and monarchs. 

The brand maintains this exceptional standard today, catering exclusively to an ultra-wealthy clientele. This includes owners of historic or classical estates, individuals with dedicated household staff, and perfectionists who appreciate the finest silver dining traditions.

Catalog of the Manufacture

The range of exquisite products is quite wide. In their French workshops, they craft everything from standalone decor objects made of artisanal silver to every single item you could need to set a gorgeous, high-end luxury table setting.

• Cutlery and Table Accessories. Odiot flatware configuration is mind-boggling — a set can include the most exotic etiquette items for any dish.
• Home Interior Items and Decor. Odiot silver offers everything you need to decorate the space around the table and the living room in a single regal style with an abundance of expensive metal surfaces. 
• Dinnerware. A breathtaking cluster of exquisite Limoges porcelain, brought to life through a beautiful alliance with the legendary house of J.L Coquet. Artisans hand-paint graceful designs using gold and silver, ensuring they match perfectly with the flatware.
• Glassware. The crystal glass line is present to emphasize the brilliance of the cutlery. Each wine glass, water glass, or tumbler offers perfect transparency, a heavy weight, and the most complex hand-cutting. 
• Gifts and Baby Birth Series. The manufacture has brought the tradition to the absolute — it offers not just relevant objects, but also the possibility of customization, such as hand engraving of initials.

Odiot Silver Style

Dating back to 1690, the manufacturer holds a prominent position in the history of European heritage craftsmanship, alongside storied names like Puiforcat. From the historic scepter of Napoleon Bonaparte to modern breathtaking luxury silverware, the brand has established highly specialized and recognizable designs. A unique archive preserves hundreds of antique matrices, molds, and original drawings. This allows the workshops to continue hand-forging Odiot flatware and decorative pieces using authentic patterns from various historical periods.

Empire. The most basic flow of shapes. In collections such as Bourbon or Laetitia, you can enjoy ancient Roman architecture, an abundance of laurel wreaths, antique torches, griffins, and bees (the symbol of Bonaparte).

Romanticism and Russian classics. The design is incredibly complex and voluminous, with lush, lively, natural shapes. Such items were created directly for the colossal services of the Russian nobility and Tsar Nicholas I. For example, like the Demidoff or Chateaubriant collection.

Elegant Rococo. Their graceful and airy decors symbolize French refinement, lightness, and palace romance of the pre-revolutionary era. This aesthetic is beautifully displayed in the ribbon and bead motifs of the Marie-Antoinette collection and the classic borders of Louveciennes.

Art Deco. Although Odiot is associated with classic silverware, they also know how to work with pure geometry. A vivid example is the Tétard set with its clean lines and stepped edges.

Modernism of the 20th–21st centuries. These ergonomic utensils were developed specifically for Pan-Asian cuisine. The brand's silver Asian Chopsticks with a highly minimalist design are consistent best-sellers in this segment.

Fact to Consider

Remember that Odiot works only with the French standard 1er Titre — which means 950 sterling silver — and rich vermeil coated in a thick layer of 18 to 24-karat gold. The house does not offer lower-tier alternatives, such as silver-plated flatware. We strongly advise purchasing these collections only through authorized and verified dealers.

Purchasing Options 

Odiot silver pieces are mostly released in micro-editions. The physical shop and showroom are located in Paris. But the brand's work is mostly based on pre-orders. With the Made to Order option, clients can request pieces according to archival models. The lead time typically ranges from 3 to 6 months, as each item is individually cast, chased, and polished by hand by a single artisan from start to finish.

Most in demand is Customization. This is the level of individual engineering. Bespoke options include personalization-engraving, changing the finish, and even creating from scratch based on client sketches or descriptions.
