Exquisite flatware and cutlery produced using old world methods.

In 1856 two goldsmiths created Roux-Marquiand.

In 1992 a new strategy based on these creations is started. Experimental creators launched some new lines, respecting quality and know-how of their original craftsmen.Success is immediate.

On June 2000 Roux Marquiand reinforced its know-how through association with the parisian Aubry-Cadoret, creating then the 3rd french goldsmith group.

Below is a detailing of how Roux-Marquiand flatware is produced using the "lost wax" process..

1st step : The manufacturing of waxes



For each handle, one wax is produced. These waxes are put on a tree.



2nd step : To put in a plaster cylinder and flow in

The wax tree is introduced in a plaster cylinder. The cylinder is heated and the wax is then "lost" giving the name of "lost wax casting" technique.

After a 24 hours heating in the oven, the flow of the melting metal can take place.

3rd step : Exit of the metal cylinder

After cleaning of the cylinder, the metal tree appears, identical

to the original waxes.

4th step : Preparation of the handles

The cut of the handle will allow to weld the "top" of the fork. The polishing of the surfaces is essential for the silver to adhere.

5th step : The welding of the cutlery

The pieces, positionned with great precision, are welded with silver

(for highest resistance).

6th step : The finishing

The final polishing gives brightness to the cutlery and the desired color. Every piece is controlled and packed before expediton.
