New Christofle Marley design silver cutlery 2 X 7 piece place settings
Curvy, playful, and unapologetically elegant – The silverplated “Marly” cutlery pattern is the French rococo classic by Christofle Paris. Generous curves, finely chiselled plant ornaments and the inimitable sheen of fine silver seduce with style and brilliancy to indulge in shared culinary moments. The “Marly” cutlery pattern is a piece of living dining heritage. The renowned silversmith Christofle has been producing the cutlery model since 1897. The name of the pattern pays homage to Marly-le-Roi castle. Built by Louis XIV, it was considered the prototype of the Baroque pleasure palace until its demolition in 1816. The castle’s rocaille style, the French variant of the rococo, lives on in “Marly” to this day. True to the rocaille style, “Marly” is one of Christofle’s most richly decorated cutlery models. Its inviting shapes sit comfortably in the hand; graceful acanthus leaves dynamically entwine around the handles. Asymmetrical shell motifs set accents and give the cutlery its French character. Spoons and forks are designed for traditional “à la française” table setting with the pieces’ backs facing upwards. The Box they come in is slightly damaged but it is nearly 30 years old and been around the world with us. 2 x Dinner forks 2 x Dinner Knives 2 x Large Dinner Spoons.
