Offering this antique French Christofle Gallia napkin ring and timbale, goblet (beaker or cup) in its own original box. Mint Julep anyone? Or for displaying a lovely nosegay of fresh roses... There are endless uses for this elegant set! I leave that to the lucky person who will purchase it at my Zen Cart powered Boutique on line →Mariette's Back to Basics. Let me show you the photos as they speak for themselves...
Shown here with my French Le Jacquard Français napkins and placemats in rose motif.
Also shown is a Delft white picture frame vase with Ranunculus - Persian buttercups.
Will show more about that special picture frame tomorrow!
This is a beautiful set and I doubt if it was ever used!
On page 74 in the Chonology of my book Christofle you can read:
1898 To create objects for their art nouveau line, Christofle develops a new alloy, gallia.
Christofle outfits the Ritz in 1898
Still in its original box with Production Christofle on the edge.
A satin lining with corded edging.
It makes one long for the old days again...
Orfeverie Gallia is gold embossed on the inside of the lid.
Christofle emblem on the top in gold embossed.
Christofle Gallia marks under the timbale, goblet.
Sorry Sold out...

Oh Mariette it is so beautiful. It would have multiple uses I'm sure. It looks so nice with your lovely blue linen.
ReplyDeleteI still am not sure how to switch back to the old blogger to get rid of the word verification. Although after saying that I'm not sure that I have it anyway,as i don't comment on my own blog.

I bet all those folks from back then would cringe at all the plastic and disposable items that are in use today. That is a very lovely set. Hope your day is a good one. Tammy
