A silver plated gravy ladle in the Jardin D'Eden pattern.
Jardin d'Eden is the latest Christofle flatware, designed by Marcel Wanders. The pattern is poetry made real. The effulgent decoration spans the entirety of the flatware in a single engraving. The interlaced leaves, flowers and curls are inspired by a lush garden, a fine tracery dancing over each piece.
1842
Christofle buys the patents for silver plating and gilding by electrolysis which gave birth to silver metal in France. He becomes a goldsmith.
