Christofle was the first company on the European continent that made use of the galvanic techniques for the serial production of table silver. The company's printed catalogues in which since the 1850's all the models and prices of the current production were listed, were part of the modern marketing concept of Christofle.During the Second EmpireChristofle advanced to the position of a purveyor to the imperial court. Industrially silver-plated table decoration corresponded to the imperial ideology of progress formed by the Saintsimonismus.After the downfall of the Second Empire in 1870, the Company Christofle considered itself to be forced to change its image. The imperial house disappeared as a lucrative client. In the field of the decorative art, the initial enthusiasm for industrial techniques changed more and more to a consciousness on traditional craft values. Now the company Christofle stressed in its advertisements that they also produced solid silver products following drafts of artists-tendencies that led to the Art Nouveau (to mentioning just some key words: demand of honesty when using the material, vocation of well known artists by the companies, handicraft point of view by the martelé technique). Much more often than in the starting years, we can find now illustred names from the Paris society in the archives from Christofle (Manzanedo-Santoòa, Pereire, Marquise de Païva, Earl Henckel von Donnersmarck...)The mark for Christofle was a bee in a wide diamond-shaped cartouche with a "C" on either side and three stars at the top.    Payment Policy Payment  Only PayPal is Accepted Shipping Policy Items will be shipped on next 3 business days of receiving full payment,the tracking number  international will be provided next few days,we combine multiples Items, shipp worldwide.
