Description from the seller
Beautiful and rare Christofle bread basket made of silver-plated material.
The tray stands out for a design that is both sophisticated and simple at the same time: it is conceived as if it were a basket woven from straw, extremely elegant and perfect for serving bread at the table.
On the underside of the item is engraved the Christofle mark.
Dimensions: 23.5 x 5.3 cm
Tracked shipping.
Good condition.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
