Description from the seller

Christofle Gallia – Set of 4 Art Deco Silver-Plated Napkin Rings "Ondulation" – Design by Luc Lanel

An elegant set of four silver-plated napkin rings by Gallia, Christofle, designed by the renowned French designer Luc Lanel. These napkin rings belong to the iconic Ondulation pattern, one of the finest examples of French Art Deco silverware produced during the 1930-50s.

Luc Lanel (1893–1965) became one of Christofle's most influential designers after joining the Gallia department. His creations are celebrated for their clean architectural forms, refined proportions and timeless modernist elegance. The Ondulation collection perfectly reflects the Art Deco movement, combining smooth cylindrical surfaces with finely engraved horizontal bands that create a subtle sense of rhythm and movement.

This lot consists of four napkin rings in two different sizes:

1 napkin ring: approximately 3.1 cm high × 5 cm diameter
1 napkin ring: approximately 3.0 cm high × 5 cm diameter
2 napkin rings: approximately 2.7 cm high × 4 cm diameter
Total weight: approximately 219 grams.

Each napkin ring is decorated with five finely engraved horizontal bands at both the upper and lower edges, while the central section remains beautifully polished, creating the restrained elegance typical of the Art Deco period.

All pieces bear the Gallia / Christofle marks.

The set is in very good vintage condition. Professionally polished and ready for immediate use. Light surface scratches from careful use are present, consistent with age. One of the smaller napkin rings shows slightly more signs of use and a few tiny dark spots on the interior, without affecting its appearance or functionality.

A refined and collectible Christofle set, ideal for completing an elegant table setting or for collectors of French Art Deco silver by Luc Lanel.
