Christofle Malmaison Sauce Boat – Silver-Plated – Eagle Head

This sauce boat from the Malmaison collection, signed Christofle, stands out for its eagle-head handle.

The Malmaison collection, a great classic of the Christofle house, draws inspiration from the Empire style and the decorative world of the Château de Malmaison. Its elegant lines and refined ornamentation evoke the full richness of French tableware tradition.

The handle takes the form of an eagle's head in the round, its plumage finely chased, rising above a boat-shaped body on a pedestal foot. The sauce boat rests on its oval stand, edged with a frieze of water leaves, the signature motif of the collection.

The piece bears the CHRISTOFLE FRANCE marks and hallmarks, visible in the photographs.
