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. On these tongs, the frieze of raised half-pearls outlines both arms, which end in small bowls.

Marks

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