Christofle is a French luxury silverware and tableware company founded in 1830 by Charles Christofle. The company quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional quality and innovative design, favored by royalty and the aristocracy. 
  
One of Christofle's most famous designs is the silver-plated metal called "Argenture," developed in the mid-19th century. This new material made silverware more affordable and accessible to a broader clientele without sacrificing quality or style. 
  
Today, Christofle remains a leader in the luxury tableware industry, offering a wide range of products, including silverware, crystal glasses, porcelain dinnerware, and decorative accessories. Collaborations with top designers such as Marcel Wanders and Ora Ïto have led to the development of contemporary and innovative collections while maintaining the brand's timeless elegance and savoir-faire.
