Christofle
The Christofle company was founded in 1830 by Charles Christofle. In 1842, he bought the patents for gilding and silvering by electrolysis from the Frenchman Henri de Ruolz and the Englishman Elkington. This technique gave birth to silver metal in France.
Maison Christofle supplied King Louis-Philippe, who, in 1846, ordered a table service for the Château d'Eu. The company became famous after ordering a 4,000-piece set in 1851.
The scale mark is the goldsmith's mark used by Maison Christofle from 1844 to 1935.
