CHRISTOFLE is a French goldsmith and tableware company, established in Paris in 1830 by Charles Christofle. The company is famous for having introduced electrolytic gold and silver plating in France in 1842. The company was acquired in 2012 by one of its shareholders, the luxury goods retailer the Chalhoub Group. Christofle's products are entirely handmade using traditional techniques. The precious trades of metal turning and embossing, levelling, carving and engraving, are kept alive by its Master Silversmiths who are holders of France's Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF) title; they immortalise the qualities of elegance and excellence of all Christofle's pieces. It is this irreplaceable human know-how perpetuated by highly qualified craftsmen, passed on from master to pupil, that constitutes the living heritage of Christofle. Genuine 'Living Treasures'.
