History of Christofle
The House of Christofle, founded by Charles Christofle in 1830, is renowned for its excellence in the art of French silversmithing. 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 articles, 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 aristocracy, becoming synonymous with elegance and refinement across eras, from the opulence of the Belle Époque to the graceful lines of Art Déco.
