Christofle Malmaison Vegetable Dish – Silver-Plated – France

This silver-plated vegetable dish belongs to Christofle's iconic Malmaison collection.

The Malmaison collection draws inspiration from the Empire style and stands out for its refined lines, decorative friezes and finely worked motifs, characteristic of Christofle's craftsmanship.

This vegetable dish comes with its domed lid, topped with an artichoke finial set on a rosette of leaves. A frieze of water leaves runs around the edge of the lid and the rim of the dish. The two foliate handles rest on wreath-shaped mounts.

The piece bears the CHRISTOFLE FRANCE hallmarks, visible under the base.
