Description from the seller
Beautiful silvered metal tea service, Gallia house, Christofle production, in very good overall condition, very little used, wood handles, Vendome shell pattern.
Teapot height 17.5 cm
Sugar bowl height 15 cm
Creamer height 9.5 cm
Born at the time of the Universal Exposition of 1900 in Paris, the Gallia collection takes its name from an alloy of metals that marked its era, of higher quality, with greater hardness for table silverware. Gallia would serve as a laboratory of ideas for the Christofle house.
The Christofle brand has been a silverware house for the table since 1830, founded in Paris by Charles Christofle. The company is known for having introduced electroplating and electrolytic gilding in France in 1942; patents that the company bought back from the Frenchman Henri de Ruolz and the English Elkington.
The House of Christofle supplied King Louis Philippe who, in 1846, ordered a dining service for the Château d’Eu. Its great notoriety dates from 1851 when Emperor Napoleon III ordered a service of 4,000 pieces, including among other items surtouts.
