Overview & history
Founded in Paris in 1830, Christofle became the leading French maker of silver and silverplate, supplying royalty and luxury tables worldwide. The firm is known for high-quality silverplate (including its Gallia line) as well as sterling, in elegant flatware services and decorative hollowware. Value depends on whether a piece is sterling or plate, the pattern and design, size, completeness of sets, and condition - fine sterling and large or designer hollowware command the most.
Identifying & marks
Look for the 'Christofle' name with French maker's marks; the Gallia mark denotes silverplate, while sterling carries the appropriate French silver standard marks. The marks distinguish plate from sterling and confirm authenticity.
