The revolutionary style and character of Christofle dinnerware comes from collaborations with groundbreaking architects, designers, and artists from around the world. Commissioned by such figures as Pope Pius IX and the Paris opera, Christofle creates timeless pieces that emphasize artistry and sophistication in every detail. The Malmaison Silver Plated pattern typifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm and lotus leaves and symmetrical design.
