Series of 12 silver-plated table forks – Christofle House, Marly Model (Louis XV Style)

Lot description:

Stunning and prestigious set of 12 table forks from the famous Christofle House, Paris. They feature the sumptuous Marly model, one of the most refined and emblematic designs of the French silversmith.
Inspired by the splendor of the Château de Marly of Louis XIV, this model is distinguished by its handles richly carved with an asymmetric decor of scrolls, acanthus leaves and rocaille motifs typical of the grand Louis XV style. The finesse of the sculpture gives each piece a unique relief and an exceptionally comfortable grip.
