DISCOVER TALISMAN BABY PIECES
Christofle has created a new children's catlery for the Talisman collection.
This new catlery offers the infant universe a premium offering. The catlery may be engraved on the reverse of the cover.
The Talisman Baby collection contains three spoons as well as three spoon and fork sets. These products are available in ivory, rose quartz, and ice blue. Made in silver and lacquer, making it an attractive gift throughout a child's life: birth, baptism, birthday.
Creation process
Christofle begins the process by stamping the cover in the chosen metal, leaving hollow parts to accommodate the lacquer.
After this step, it is sanded. This sanding allows the lacquer to cling on to the metal.
Then, 2 coats of lacquer are applied to give the color and 17 coats of varnish. Each coat of lacquer and varnish is applied by hand using a pistol, interspersed with steaming.
It is this long process that gives the Talisman pieces their solidity and resistance.
The cover, now completely covered in lacquer, is polished until the metal threads of the handle are visible.
Once polished, it is silvered or gilded and then polished.
This final gentle hand polishing will give it its full brilliance, bringing out the brilliance of the Art Deco silver ribs and amplifying the depth of the chosen colour.
