The Sarut Group is an innovative, international gift country that imports giftware from eclectic and unique European, Asian, and African vendors. Ultimately, the Sarut Group aspires to provide their clients with unusual and whimsical products that will entertain, inspire, and enrich their lives.
Focusing on natural, innovative, and timeless products for every age, The Sarut Group’s distinctive gift items are both fun and practical. The name Sarut (pronounced Sa-roo), is derived from the names of Alan Ceppos’ grandparents – Sadie, Arch and Ruth. Since 1985, he and Frederic Rambaud have worked with creative talent from around the globe to make The Sarut Group into the internationally acclaimed company it is today.
Everywhere you look these days, the functional is getting a coat of froufrou. Let’s call it cutility. Toasters, desk sets, bike accessories even tools are no longer dull, straightforward, undecorated things. They are gussied up with polka dots, flowers or Disney characters to reflect the owner’s personality and to make the mundane fun.
The firm distributes practical items with fanciful designs, such as cheese graters shaped like princesses in long skirts, vegetable peelers that are Asian characters and “Nemo whisks” shaped like fish. “Everything we do is very functional. But it brings an element of whimsy into the home,” says company spokeswoman Sharon Hitchcock. “We take ordinary objects and make you smile.”
In this same-old, same-old world, she says, “it’s an attempt to make your home an oasis.”

Nature’s creations are the ultimate Art
that fills our hearts with joy, warms our
souls with promise and fuels our spirits
with desire. My true inspiration to
reflect this beauty is what my Art is all about.”
- Michael Michaud

Artist Michael Michaud, designer of the Silver Seasons jewelry collection, combined his love of nature and exceptional knowledge of precious metal casting and model making to create wonderful giftware and tabletop items.
Table Art is truly a collaboration of creative and design talents.
Combining his love of nature and exceptional knowledge of precious metal casting and model making, Michael Michaud has created wonderful tabletop and giftware items. His exquisite use of layering colors of gold, silver and copper on bronze and pewter, give the Table Art collection an elegant and unique look all its own.
Michael Michaud explores the same sensitivity with nature in his Table Art pieces as he does in his Silver Seasons jewelry collection. The ability to expand nature’s creations in various mediums has added to the successful growth of the Table Art division.
Michael Michaud is a highly respected artist. He blends an exceptional items making skill with his true appreciation for nature including flowers, fruits, plants, berries, leaves and sealife.

The base metal used throughout the collection is primarily pewter in either its natural coloration or, gold plated. Other metals used are sterling silver and brass. Freshwater pearls, glass beads and semi precious stones are used on certain designs within the collection.
Michael Michaud’s napkin rings, sugar and creamer sets, serving spoons, vases and miniature boxes look like they’ve tumbled out of a fairy tale. Each piece of this botanical tableware collection is crafted from a branch, leaf or fruit. Molten pewter is poured into a lost wax mold, a wash of silver or gold over copper is applied, and the results are astonishing. Variations occur in each piece. All pieces are lead free and food safe.
