Its character and quality are rooted in the tradition of Christofle, a French firm founded in 1830, when jeweler Charles Christofle took over the management of the jewelry workshop belonging to his wife’s family. Since its inception, the house has cultivated a renowned tradition of craftsmanship, expanding its production beyond cutlery to include silver frames, crystal vases, glassware, porcelain tableware, and jewelry. Christofle’s pieces stand out for their combination of design, precision, and traditional artisanal techniques. Their manufacture involves processes such as hammering, wire-stamping, carving, and engraving, along with various finishing and decorative techniques, including patinas, enamels, cloisonné, and lacquering.
