Steel
Baguette by Jean Philip
Rimbert
created a reputation and business providing unfinished steel
articles to the craftsmen finishers of the Thiers area who would
finish and polish the product for the retail market. The success
of this venture and the high demand led to the company focusing
on its own product line which is now marketed under the Jean
Philip brand.
The
classic Perles design by Jean Philip
The
patterns are very much in the traditional French classic style,
all patterns are available in stainless steel (mat and
brilliant, or even a combination of the two), silver plate and some have gold highlights to add
that little bit of luxury and the ability to match gold
dinnerware services.
Marina
with gold highlights by Jean Philip
The
company still makes the the Jean Philip line in the traditional
manner and all the finished flatware is hand polished to create
a superb finish. Interestingly all the manufacturing tools and
patterns are preserved enabling the recreation of every pattern
without a time limit. |
