History of Christofle
The house Christofle, founded by Charles Christofle in 1830, is renowned for its excellence in the art of French silverware. In 1842, the company patented the galvanostegia method (electroplating), a revolutionary innovation that allowed applying a thin layer of silver to a base metal through electrolysis.
This technique elevated the quality and durability of silver-plated items, making them accessible to a wider 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 aristocracy, becoming synonymous with elegance and refinement across eras, from the opulence of the Belle Époque to the elegant lines of Art Déco.
