This dolphin belongs to the Lumière d’Argent collection, developed by Christofle from the 1980s onwards. Featured in the catalogue between 1996 and 2001, this piece is enhanced with a topaz-coloured ornament that brings warmth and luminosity to the brilliance of the silver.
Christofle Vintage Collection pieces are second hand pieces selected and authenticated by Christofle. They are pieces in good condition and restored in our workshops in Yainville (Normandy)...
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.
