A Gleaming Gesture of Hospitality – Serving and Decorative Trays by Christofle
Who could possibly say no? In the fine art of hospitality, silver trays are the emblem of service, attention, and appreciation. The silver-plated and stainless-steel trays by Christofle unite the elegance of French silversmithing with functional design for modern needs. They shine wherever life happens, at receptions, during canapé service, or as a decorative element on a beautifully laid table. Discover the stage for unforgettable shared moments in Christofle’s world of style – made to be shared.
Silver and Stainless-Steel Trays for Serving, Decorating, and Presenting
As an ambassador of French table culture, Christofle has stood for the highest silversmithing standards since 1830. This irreplaceable expertise is vividly reflected in its extensive selection of trays. Flawless surfaces, bright lustre, intelligent functionality, and iconic, instantly recognisable designs come together in timeless objects of enduring elegance and refinement. On a Christofle tray, even a simple glass of water becomes a most gracious welcome – one your guests will remember.
From breakfast to an evening aperitif, Christofle trays create gleaming moments of pleasure at any time of day. Smaller trays without handles are ideal as a desk or office valet, or as an elegant organiser in the living room. Larger models with handles carry an entire breakfast out to the terrace or into the garden. Round trays are perfect for serving drinks in tight spaces, while rectangular trays present generous buffets, coffee and tea services or bar arrangements with ease. In this way, Christofle trays combine practical comfort with effortless sophistication.
Ready for Every Occasion – Christofle Trays at a Glance
Whether for serving drinks and dishes, presenting fine delicacies, or decorating with flowers and candles, Christofle’s many collections offer the right tray for every requirement. The nautical trays from the Oh collection are crafted from high-polish stainless steel for use both indoors and out. Inspired by modern sailing yachts, their circular handles evoke the stainless-steel eyelets in sailcloth, catching the warm sun with a bright glint as the wind fills the canvas. Whether as a champagne tray, a base for lanterns, or a stylish outdoor surface, Oh trays are robust, easy to care for, and made for life alfresco.
The Vertigo collection reinterprets classic elegance with a charming twist. Its signature is a slightly twisted ring element, appearing in a new way on each piece and creating a clever thematic link to weddings and anniversaries. On the trays, it most often serves as a handle, lending the clean forms a softly feminine allure.
The Albi and Malmaison collections represent an understated, classically French aesthetic. Albi trays impress with clean lines and perfect proportions, inspired by the austere beauty of the Gothic cathedral in the city of Albi. Malmaison trays reference the Napoleonic Empire style with fine palmette friezes and historic detailing. Both lines are ideal for coffee and tea services, as place-setting trays, or for presenting small arrangements, bringing a cultivated, timeless note to any table.
The Mood collection introduces a contemporary, relaxed atmosphere to the table. With multifunctional inserts in wood and porcelain, the round trays are designed to be shared at parties and conferences alike. Finger food, tapas, desserts or small snacks find their place along the rim, while the Mood cutlery set with its iconic egg-shaped case takes pride of place at the centre. A perfect setup for convivial gatherings where guests can help themselves: uncomplicated, intuitive, stylish.
