The partially gilded silver-plated cake server in the Malmaison pattern can also be used to serve tarts and pies. 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.

Derived from pure elegance and royalty, the Malmaison collection brings harmony between functionality and craftsmanship with its exotic yet discreet vegetable pattern.


Having become famous, Maison Christofle was solicited by foreign sovereigns such as Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, the Tsar of Russia, Germany of the Kaiser, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Sultan Abdulaziz of the Ottoman Empire.
