The partially gilded silver-plated cake fork in the Malmaison pattern has a wide edge designed especially for cutting cake and pie on the plate. 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.
