Nil

Since 1867, Ercuis has practised Haute Orfèvrerie in northern France. The Nil collection borrows its name from the river whose majesty inspired it, translating the harmony of natural shapes into cutlery of pure, fluid design. Its soft, clean and balanced lines glide effortlessly between the brilliance of silver and ergonomic movement.

Nil is produced silver plated and gold plated, so a setting can stay entirely bright or play on the contrast of the two finishes. It is the choice for those seeking essential and understated luxury: a collection that enhances a contemporary table while preserving the timeless charm of avant-garde high silversmithing.

The Nil collection will be available online shortly. In the meantime, subscribe to the Ercuis newsletter — the form is at the bottom of this page — to be told as soon as it goes live.

Ercuis Nil: silver and gold plated cutlery

The Nil collection brings the Ercuis Haute Orfèvrerie savoir-faire to a contemporary register: pure volumes, a continuous line from handle to bowl, and the brilliance of a plated finish. It is the Ercuis answer for a modern mise en place that asks for presence without ornament.

A design drawn from the harmony of natural shapes

Nil is inspired by the harmony of natural shapes and by the majesty of the river it is named after. The soft, clean and balanced lines follow the movement of the hand rather than a decorative motif: the design is read in the profile and in the way light travels along the surface.

Silver plated and gold plated, in the Ercuis tradition

Nil is available silver plated and gold plated. Both finishes are produced at the Ercuis historic manufacture, where the savoir-faire of the master silversmiths has been preserved and passed down since 1867 — the same expertise that equips luxury hotels, palaces, Michelin-starred chefs and private residences.

Composing a contemporary mise en place

Its understated profile makes Nil straightforward to combine with modern porcelain, plain linen and simple glassware, for everyday dining as much as for a formal dinner. The gold plated version can be used on its own or paired with the silver plated pieces to give a table a defined accent.
