Christofle - Charles Christofle - Cutlery set for 12 (25) - Baguette - Silverplated - Era Belle Époque-C.C.

Splendid and elegant antique table silverware service for 12 people, produced by the prestigious French Maison Christofle between the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century (Belle Époque period). The set is made in the famous Baguette model (historically also known as Uniplat or Fidelio), characterized by sober, timeless lines, perfect for both classic and contemporary tables.

The lot consists of a total of 25 pieces:
• 12 Large dining spoons (stamped 6 with silver content 61 and six with 59)
• 12 Large dining forks (stamped 6 with silver content 61 and 6 with 59)
• 1 Large serving / serving ladle

Details of authenticity and hallmarks:
Each piece bears on the back the official historical Christofle hallmark in use between 1844 and 1935: the balance with the initials C-C (Charles Christofle). The numbers impressed in the boxes (61, 59) certify the grams of pure silver used for the standard plating of the lots, guaranteeing the highest quality of the antique silverware of the Maison.

The conditions are not the best; in some points the plating has faded, but without detracting from the era’s charm. Look carefully at the photos, they too are an integral part of the description.
