History of Christofle
The house of Christofle, founded by Charles Christofle in 1830, is renowned for its excellence in the art of French silverware. In 1842, the company patented the method of electroplating, a revolutionary innovation that allowed a thin layer of silver to be applied to a base metal through electrolysis.
This technique has elevated the quality and durability of silver-plated items, making them accessible to a broader audience and quickly establishing the brand as a leader in the world of luxury silverware. Christofle's creations have adorned the tables of royalty and aristocrats, becoming synonymous with elegance and refinement across different eras, from the opulence of the Belle Époque to the sleek lines of Art Deco.
