The term "Surtout" appeared in the last years of the reign of Louis XIV with the arrival of the French service. The Surtout was used to display serving items such as salt shakers, spice boxes, oil dishes, vinegar dishes and sugar bowls, items that remained on the table throughout the meal. With the evolution of the uses, the Surtout gradually lost its utilitarian function to become a table decoration, a prestigious distinction.

A legend at Christofle says that it is Charles himself who invented the napkin ring! Unique personal item on the table, it designates every guest to a seat. Charles' family was very close; this is why each napkin ring is inspired by women who have marked his life: Anne, Hyacinthe, Anne-Henriette, Rosine and Marie-Rose.
The Anne napkin ring represents Charles Christofle's mother (1772-1812). She passed along her taste for business to Charles, and gave him the name "Christofle". Through this collection, the Maison invites you around the family table of Charles Christofle. This napkin ring is silver-plated and has a rectangular shape. It is perfect for personalization and engraving.
