Christofle - Tea service (5) - Silverplated

Elegant and rare original Christofle tea service, dating from the early 1920s, an expression of the excellence of French jewelry and the Art Déco taste. The lot includes a teapot, coffee pot, sugar basin and milk jug, accompanied by an important Gallia service tray, a Christofle production, which harmoniously completes the set. This model was exhibited in 1925 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where it was presented among the pieces of greatest interest of the exhibition dedicated to French decorative arts of the 20th century. The tableware stands out for its remarkable brilliance and for an exceptional state of conservation, a quality increasingly rare to find in objects with more than a hundred years of history. The Gallia tray, however, shows signs of time consistent with its age: diffuse black speckles on the surface, some wear and oxidation traces, as well as normal signs of use visible also on the back. All conditions are clearly documented in the photographs. This is a highly charming historical and collectible ensemble: the slight imperfections of the tray do not compromise the overall elegance or the value of the service, but rather testify to its authenticity and long history. A rare opportunity for collectors and Christofle enthusiasts, with a service that makes a strong visual impact and is accompanied by its original Gallia tray. The lot will be shipped preferably with UPS.
