Since then, the French manufactory he founded has been creating silverplated cutlery that offers most of the advantages of sterling silver cutlery at a fraction of the price. Christofle's pioneering work revolutionised table culture: To this day, silverplated cutlery is the epitome of an elevated lifestyle and a dependable companion to unique moments of happiness.

Why silverplated silverware from Christofle?

Some things are easy to see: The beauty of silver is unmatched. The warm white shine of the precious metal is as simple as it is refined. In the hands of Christofle's master silversmiths, it achieves its full potential. The best materials, irreplaceable know-how and time-tested stylistic confidence culminate in the timeless elegance that has brought Christofle international fame.

The advantages of silver cutlery do not remain superficial. When eating, silver feels pleasant and soft on the mouth and lips. Of all metals, it transmits heat best. Therefore, it quickly takes on the temperature of the food and enhances the pleasure of eating. The natural antibacterial properties of silver help to maintain high standards of hygiene.

To enjoy the positive properties of silver, the cutlery does not have to be made of solid silver. Silver-plated cutlery offers the look and feel of sterling silver while its core is made of alpaca, a specialised metal alloy. This alloy is strong, easy to clean and feels pleasant in the hand.

Modern silverplated cutlery is galvanised with 999 fine silver. To electroplate the fully finished alpaca cutlery pieces, artisans carefully submerge them in a silver-containing bath. When electricity is applied, the fine silver deposits evenly on the alpaca surfaces. After polishing, the electroplated surfaces

• last for many decades
• are scratch- and dishwasher-proof
• rarely need to be repolished when used regularly and
• develop a graceful patina akin to that of sterling silver.
