🔍 Details & Condition Signature: "Christofle" hallmark clearly engraved. Model: Coquille (Rocaille / Louis XV Style). Material: High-quality silver-plated metal. Note: Please carefully observe the photos, which are an integral part of the description. This piece is in beautiful vintage condition. It has gracefully weathered the years and bears traces of its age (see photos). The shine is superb.

📜 Manufacturing Secrets: Hallmark & Shape The Hallmark: The presence of "C C" for Christofle & Cie in full letters surrounding the balance guarantees authenticity and belonging to the greatest French silversmithing house. This marking is a globally recognized guarantee of quality by experts. The Symbol: The "Coquille" (Shell) decoration is a classic of the Louis XV (Rocaille) style. The stylized shell symbolizes harmony and nature. It was once the distinctive sign of the most refined tables. The Shape: Its ends terminate in "lion's paws" (or claws). This shape is not only aesthetic: it was ingeniously designed to offer a firm and precise grip, thus preventing sugar cubes (or ice cubes) from slipping.

💚 Why we love it It's the perfect marriage of history and modernity. We adore its weight in hand and its "curiosity object" aspect. To own a Christofle is to acquire a small piece of historical Parisian luxury.
