A bit of history:

Cardeilhac is a Parisian house reputed for luxury silversmithing, with origins dating back to 1804.
Its name is associated with French luxury silversmithing of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The manufactury was acquired by “Christofle” in 1951.
After 1951: Christofle took over Cardeilhac, but continued to market objects under the brand “Cardeilhac” without necessarily displaying the Christofle name on the boxes.
