Antique Christofle Cutlery Set

This is a lovely Christofle serving set, comprising two pickle and garnish forks, plus a sugar shovel.

Bearing the Christofle marks, these serving sets are in the classic Rubans style. A design which was created in 1907 and is still going strong today, it features symmetrical decoration of bows and crossed ribbons. The pattern was aimed at evoking joyful childhood memories, and their timeless design certainly makes me smile!

They are made with quality silver plate. While I am unsure if these would have originally been part of the same set together, each bears a Charles Christofle mark which dates them to pre-1935. There is a small amount of tarnishing and wear to them but they are nonetheless stunning pieces of cutlery which show off the quality associated with this maker.

Length, 17cm (sugar shovel); Width, 3.5cm across widest fork
