The silversmithing house of Jarosinski & Vaugoin stands as one of the oldest still-operating businesses of its kind globally, dedicated to producing hand-beaten silverware. Founded in 1847, the family-run establishment is currently led by Jean-Paul Vaugoin, representing the sixth generation. Located in a historic workshop in Vienna's 7th district, the company meticulously crafts exquisite silver items that are supplied not only to European royals, including London's Kensington Palace, but also to royal families in Arabia and Malaysia. Specializing in tableware and dining culture, Jarosinski & Vaugoin offers an extensive collection encompassing designs from Baroque to contemporary styles, featuring approximately 200 different models of silverware. The proprietor, Jean-Paul Vaugoin, is an expert in table setting and readily shares his knowledge about the diverse range of cutlery, including specialized pieces like grapefruit spoons, oyster forks, and silver chicken leg holders. The workshop also produces modern designs by collaborating with designers such as Thomas Feichtner and Sebastian Menschhorn. A particular point of pride is a silver replica of Benvenuto Cellini's famous golden Saliera, originally crafted in 1969 as a gift for Queen Elizabeth II during her state visit to Vienna.
