Christofle - Teapot - Silverplated - Hotel Lutetia

Christofle Art Nouveau Silver-Plated Hotel Teapot / Kettle
Important silver-plated hotel teapot or kettle from the Christofle house, in Art Nouveau style, resting on an elegant pierced stand with a decorative botanical scroll motif.
Rare model from the “Hôtel Lutetia” (marking visible on the body), probably made for the prestigious Parisian establishment in the early 20th century. Because, at that time, hotels had their silverware custom-made instead of buying overpriced coffee capsules. A vanished civilization.
Christofle hallmarks visible under the base and inventory numbers present.
Very high manufacturing quality with an insulated-wrapped handle and particularly elegant lines.
