Christofle Malmaison and the French Empire Style
Christofle's collection is named after the Chateau de la Malmaison situated in the picturesque French countryside west of Paris. The castle's ancient name "Malmaison" translates to "bad house" and dates back to the sixth century.

Castle Malmaison was the country residence of Joséphine de Beauharnais, the first wife of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, from 1799 to 1814. Together with the architects Fontaine and Percier, the imperial couple converted the old estate into a magnificent palace that defined a new style, the solemn Empire style.

The Empire style developed from the Directoire style, which marked the end of the Baroque and the beginning of Classicism. The Empire style replaces the playful stylistic elements of the late Baroque Rococo with monumental, majestic elements from antiquity.

Strict lines replace dainty ornaments; organic forms experience a symmetrical stylisation. Oriental and floral motifs give way to motifs from Greek and Roman antiquity and imperial symbolism.
