A rare and highly collectible silver-plated golf trophy bowl by the esteemed French silversmith Puiforcat, created for the prestigious “Coupe Lignel Interclubs Seniors” tournament in 1978.

Executed with Puiforcat’s signature balance of restraint and refinement, the low circular coupe features an elegant rais-de-cœur frieze encircling the rim, punctuated by applied golf ball motifs around the exterior a subtle yet sophisticated nod to the sport it commemorates. The bowl bears the engraved inscription:

“Coupe Lignel Interclubs Seniors 1978”

The Coupe Lignel holds significance within French golf history, long associated with elite interclub competition and regarded as one of the country’s notable team tournaments. Beyond its sporting heritage, the piece stands beautifully on its own as an example of late twentieth-century French luxury table and presentation design.

With its sculptural form and understated athletic provenance, this piece transitions effortlessly from trophy to decorative object equally compelling styled on a desk, cocktail table, bar, or bookshelf.

Collectors Notes

Sporting trophies often carry a unique kind of romance—objects created not for retail shelves, but for achievement, ceremony, and memory. This example feels particularly special given its connection to the Coupe Lignel, a respected French interclub golf competition with ties to broader European tournament play.

Its scale makes it remarkably versatile. While originally awarded as a golf trophy, it functions beautifully today as a vide-poche, service bowl, or simply as a sculptural desktop object. The applied golf ball details reward closer inspection without overwhelming the clean architectural silhouette—a hallmark of Puiforcat’s enduring design language.

It pairs naturally with our Silver and Trophies collections.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
