Product description
A French table piece signed by one of the great silversmithing houses. This silver-plated bottle coaster was made by the house of Christofle, whose name and hallmarks are clearly visible on the reverse. Founded in Paris in the 19th century, the house profoundly marked the history of French tableware, making silver-plated metal a true domain of excellence. Its circular shape is one of elegant simplicity. A wide, rounded rim frames the central well and gives it that discreet presence characteristic of objects designed to complement fine tables without ever overwhelming them. Intended to hold a bottle or a carafe, it protects the table while adding that small touch of silversmithing that was once an integral part of the art of entertaining. The Christofle hallmarks allow its manufacturing to be dated after 1935. The absence of the quality mark in Roman numerals, which appeared in 1983, combined with the craftsmanship of the piece, leads to a dating around the years . The surface shows scratches, signs of use, and an old patina, with the silver plating having worn in places. The whole remains harmonious nonetheless, and the rim retains a beautiful luster. The photographs allow its condition to be precisely appreciated. Diameter approximately 13 cm. Christofle, circa .
