Description from the seller
Silver-plated metal teapot by the French manufacturer Christofle. A refined example of mid-19th century European silverware, ideal for collectors of antique French silverware, decorative arts, and vintage tableware.
The piece can be attributed to Christofle's production of the second half of the 19th century. The marks present — the characteristic oval mark with two capital "C" letters (initials of Charles Christofle), the balance, the bee and palm-like branches, together with the serial number 188367 and the silver content marks in lozenge-shaped cartouches — allow for the identification of the production period. Please note that not all marks are necessarily present on every component: buyers are invited to examine the photographs carefully.
The teapot features finely detailed vegetal decoration. The handle is fitted with a wooden insert. The original burner is included (no fuel inside).
Dimensions
Handle raised: 36 × 27 × 22 cm
Handle lowered: 29 × 27 × 22 cm
The set is in excellent overall condition, with minimal wear fully consistent with the age of the piece. No structural damage is present. Minor issues include: some small losses of silver plating on the spout, a few small dull spots on the surface, and a missing screw in the wooden handle insert (easily repairable). All imperfections are documented in the photographs.
The piece will be professionally packed, wrapped in bubble wrap and shock-absorbing material, to ensure maximum protection during transit. Fast dispatch with tracked express courier.
