Christofle Perles, 6 oyster forks in silver plate, new in blister packs with their box

Set of 6 oyster forks from the Perles pattern by Christofle, in silver plate. They are new, never unpacked, each in its original blister pack, and supplied with their original Christofle box.

With their three short, broad tines, one more pronounced to detach the oyster from its shell, they accompany oysters and seafood on a fine festive table.

The Perles pattern

In the Christofle catalogue since 1879, Perles is one of the house's founding patterns. It takes up a key ornament of the neoclassical vocabulary: the beaded border, which Parisian silversmiths of the late 18^th century set along the edges of flatware and hollowware. Here, a fine frieze of raised half-pearls follows the outline of the handle, whose surface remains smooth and bright.

Marks

Christofle and France marks, with the Christofle horseman hallmark, which also bears the initials of the house, OC.
