Description from the seller

Rare Complete Set of 12 Christofle Silver-Plated dessert Forks – Post-1935 Chess Knight Hallmarks, France

Unlock French orfèvrerie mastery with this impeccable matched set of 12 silver-plated forks from the iconic maison Christofle, Paris.

Crafted post-1935 in the brand's revered modern era, these dual-purpose utensils boast a three-tine forked end for shell-cracking and a narrow scoop for meat extraction—paired with lavishly chased handles featuring intricate floral scrolls and motifs, as vividly detailed in the uploaded close-up photos.

In exceptional antique condition: brilliant shine, deep patina, minimal gentle use, no plating wear or imperfections. A phenomenal full service for 12, eagerly sought by Christofle devotees, seafood connoisseurs, or vintage tabletop curators.

Dimensions & Weight

- Per Fork: 20 x 2.5 x 2 cm; solid 64-67g each (total set approx. 792g).

This notable heft proves the thick silver electroplating over a premium alloy base, providing the legendary Christofle durability and luxe hand-feel that outclasses thinner fakes.

Authentic Hallmarks
On the tine base and handle reverse:
a small square with chess knight (horsehead) inside;
2 attached dots (1 bigger in solid oval form for plating thickness, the other a round solid dot);
letters "OC" (Orfèvrerie Christofle);
inscribed "CHRISTOFLE";
and big oval symbol (classic balance scale maker's mark).

These official post-1935 poinçons—including the chess knight introduced that year and quality dots—verify superior French silver-plating from Christofle's "OC" era, once reserved for royalty and grand tables.

An elite treasure—fully hallmarked Christofle lobster sets this matched and pristine are vanishingly rare! Securely shipped with tracking;
