Christofle supplied prestigious households, royal courts and luxury establishments throughout Europe and beyond. The Perles Pattern The Perles pattern, introduced by Christofle in 1876, is one of the house's most recognisable classical designs. Inspired by the decorative elegance of French Louis XVI silverware, the pattern features a delicate succession of small, perfectly arranged beads along the rim. This refined ornamentation gives the pieces an understated elegance, making them particularly suitable for both traditional and contemporary table settings.
