Since 1830, Christofle has embodied French silversmithing: Charles Christofle democratized silver plating through electroplating and furnished the tables of Napoleon III, the Orient Express, and the ocean liner Normandie. The company has always collaborated with contemporary designers, from Gio Ponti to Ora-ïto, whose Mood flatware, an ovoid case containing twenty-four pieces, has become a modern icon. Flatware sets, flutes, birth timpani, and exceptional pieces still come from its Normandy factory in Yainville, where the metal is polished by hand.
