Christofle, Paris - Large Vintage Malmaison Tray
A fabulous vintage silver plated tray by the creme de la creme of makers, Christofle of Paris.
Named after the Château de la Malmaison, the favorite residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine, the Malmaison collection is characterised by its symmetrical motifs, alternating water leaves and palmettes, typical of the Empire style.
Under Napoleon III, nephew of Napoleon I, the Empire style became fashionable again. For their sumptuous receptions in Paris and Biarritz, Empress Eugenie and Napoleon III called on Christofle, which became the official supplier to the imperial couple.
In 1909, during the effervescence of the Roaring Twenties, Christofle brought the Empire style up to date by creating the Malmaison Empire Collection, which was simply renamed Malmaison in the 1960s.
The underside of both handles is where the famous signature can be found for the silversmith, Orfèvrerie Christofle.
A heavy top-notch tray just back from our silversmith's workshop where it has been professionally cleaned and polished, restoring it to it's former glory. Vintage dating to the 1980's.
Measuring 22" handle to handle x 12 3/4" x 2" tall to top of handles.
