About
Ever since its creation in Paris in 1830, Christofle has been a symbol of elegance and luxury thanks to continuous innovations in the production of silver pieces fit for kings and heads of state throughout the world. As a privileged witness and a player in the evolution of taste, customs and traditions, Christofle’s collections reflect the decorative styles of the periods for which it created from Baroque to Art Nouveau, from Art Deco to Avant-Garde, always associating itself with the renowned artists, silversmiths, designers and architects of its time. Through seven generations of the Bouilhet-Christofle family, the company has established what the author Paul Valery called the “unquestioned primacy for superior elegance and style in the field
of luxury goods”. Today Christofle continues to expand and innovate thanks to its collaboration with such celebrated designers as Martin Skezely, Andree Putman, Richard Hutten and a myriad others who design both for its retail and its Haute Orfevrerie collections. For 180 years, Christofle has been the silversmith of choice for luxury homes and palaces, for the Trans-Siberian railway and the Orient Express, for ocean liners and private jets, for contemporary restaurants and five star hotels from one end of the planet to the other. Christofle’s rich history is that of France itself from the middle of the Nineteenth Century to today.
