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 16 coats of varnish. This step is repeated numerous times and is applied by hand.

This allows Talisman to be solid and resistant.

The final step entails a topcoat of emery-coating to distinguish the contrast between the colored lacquer and metal frame.

After, each piece is hand polished to reveal the perfect shine. The Art Deco design of the ribs amplifies the saturation of the chosen color.
