Description from the seller
I am offering for sale a refined Christofle – Gallia tea set, consisting of four pieces:
Teapot
Coffee maker
Sugar bowl with lid
Lattiera
The set features a classic baluster shape, enhanced by an elegant ribbed decoration at the lower part of the body. The domed lids with gadroons, the sinuous handles with foliate scrolls in Régence style, and the harmonious lines give this service timeless elegance.
The brightness of the silver is excellent, with mirror-like surfaces and uniform brilliance: a striking presence, perfect for both use and display.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Brands and authenticity
Each piece bears the CHRISTOFLE FRANCE punch mark accompanied by the Gallia mark: the famous line introduced by the Maison at the beginning of the twentieth century, dedicated to decorative and tableware objects in high-quality silver-plated metal.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Historical notes – The prestigious Gallia line
The Gallia collection was born in 1900, when Christofle decided to complement traditional production with a range of artistic creations in silver-plated metal characterized by innovative and accessible designs.
The symbol of the line was a rooster, a reference to Roman Gallia and the French goldsmithing tradition.
Among the various Christofle collections, Gallia is the one that most embodied the decorative spirit of the early twentieth century.
fluid and refined forms
• influences of Régence, Art Nouveau, and the 1920s
Rich but balanced workings.
Today, Gallia objects are highly sought after by collectors and lovers of vintage French design due to their craftsmanship and elegant, timeless charm.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Conditions
Overall excellent condition, surfaces of very high gloss. Minimal signs of aging consistent with the age.
Two minor dents that I can't photograph because of reflections on the coffee maker, but they don't affect its value.
The lot will be shipped preferably with UPS.
