Louis XV Gold Plated 16" Kettle by Ercuis
The Louis XV style, or Rocaille, pushes the fanciful opulence of the Regency period even further. This style is one of the most imaginative in the history of the decorative arts and has, over the centuries, been recognized as the most perfect, defining embodiment of French taste. It is typified by plant motifs, shells, flowers, and leaves, arranged with a pleasant asymmetry and the lines of the compositions entwined in convoluted arabesques.

Ercuis was founded in 1867 by Adrien Celeste Pillon, a priest from Ercuis in the French department of Oise, north of Paris. In 1880 Ercuis opened their first shop in Paris. Simultaneously they moved away from religious works and towards decorative and artistic flatware and hollowware, which they became renowned for. With evolving styles and trends Ercuis made a transition to more modern styles in 1969, introducing sleek designs to their expert level craftsmanship. Ercuis became an exclusive luxury French brand in 1978. Their products can be seen in multiple luxury hotels in Paris and in parts of northern and southern France including the Royal Monceau Raffles, the Shangri-La Hotel, and the Four Seasons George V. The growing luxury hotel industry on the international and local scale has secured Ercuis as a leading name in the world of luxury.
