Malmaison
Partially Gilded Silver-plated Fish fork
A Partial Gild
Order by phone, Monday to Friday from 10 a.m to 6 p.m.
The partially gilded silver plated fish fork can be used in conjunction with a fish knife to easily separate fish from bones. One of Christofle's most historic patterns, Malmaison typifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm and lotus leaves and symmetrical design. The name is a nod to the Chateau de la Malmaison, a favored Parisian residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine.
Christofle buys the patents for silver plating and gilding by electrolysis which gave birth to silver metal in France. He becomes a goldsmith.
