Christofle - Charles Christofle - Centrepiece - Gallia Collection - Silverplated

Refined and elegant oval centerpiece (bread basket) in heavily silver-plated metal, produced by the famous and prestigious French orphanage Maison Christofle, belonging to the historic and exclusive "Collection Gallia". The design is a superb example of the Art Nouveau style (Liberty Style), featuring at the ends two splendid bas-relief decorations finely worked that depict pine branches and pinecones. The curved lines and the stylized geometric cuts along the edges give the piece extraordinary fluidity and visual dynamism.

Marks and Stamps (visible on the bottom):
• Linear inscription "CHRISTOFLE FRANCE"
• Rectangular stamp "COLL. GALLIA"
• Square silver guarantee stamp with the scales, the head of the knight from chess, and the letters C-C.

The tray comes complete with its original protective brown anti-rust felt pouch, branded "Tissu Pacific Anti-Oxydant - Exclusivité Christofle - Pochette 3", essential to preserve the silver’s luster from oxidation without the need for frequent polishing.

The silvering is intact, even, and brilliantly shiny across the entire surface. It shows no plate loss, cracks, or deep scratches. The exterior bottom reveals only minimal and normal micro-scratches from handling, consistent with an antique piece, absolutely invisible when displayed. Magnificently preserved item.
