Set of 6 Art Deco Christofle 'Luc Lanel' Silver-plated Butter Knives – ca. 1930 – Original Set of 4 in Box + 2 Loose Knives

Description
A beautiful and rare set of six silver-plated Art Deco butter knives (tartineurs) from the world-renowned French luxury silver house Christofle Paris.
This iconic and highly sought model was designed around 1930 by the French designer Luc Lanel, who at that time was the director of the galvanoplastic department at Christofle. The design perfectly reflects the refinement of the Art Deco period, characterized by the clean vertical ridges on the handle that elegantly end in a stylized spiral or curl.

Composition of the lot:
This lot consists of an original, complete set of 4 knives in their accompanying, authentic green-and-white Christofle Paris storage box (equipped with the original cutouts for 4 pieces). Additionally, this lot includes 2 extra loose specimens of exactly the same model, bringing the set to a full 6-person place setting.

• Manufacturer: Christofle, Paris (France)
• Designer: Luc Lanel
• Period: Ca. 1930 (Art Deco)

Condition:
All six knives are in a very beautiful vintage state with a brilliant shine. There are only minimal, inevitable light signs of use and polish scratches that fit the age of the cutlery. The original box shows some light aging on the outside, but is structurally fully intact and closes well. See the photos for a detailed personal impression of the excellent condition.
A stunning and chic addition for a festively laid table, a valuable expansion for the Christofle collector, or a wonderful luxury gift.
