Description from the seller
Christofle – Sauce boat with accompanying silver-plated plate – Louis XV style – France, 19th century
Refined sauce boat with original plate in silver-plated finish, made by the prestigious Maison Christofle, the historic Parisian manufactory founded in 1830 and a byword for excellence in French silverware.
The piece is distinguished by its elegant Louis XV (rocaille) design, with sinuous profiles, shaped edges and rich decoration of shells, scrolls and floral motifs, executed with great finesse.
The sauce boat features a double-arched handle with a prominent central shell element, while the plate rests on three decorated feet, a solution typical of high-end silverware intended for aristocratic table services.
A monogram is engraved on the body, testimony to private patronage and an additional point of interest for historical-collectible purposes.
The visible Christofle hallmark confirms authenticity and manufacturing quality of the piece.
A piece of great charm, ideal both for collectors of French silver from the 19th century and as a decorative piece for representation.
