Christofle Perles Silver-Plated Bread Plate, France

A refined silver-plated bread plate by Christofle, France, in the celebrated Perles pattern. Created in 1876 and inspired by the ornamentation of the Louis XVI period, the Perles design wraps a delicate string of beads in half-relief around the rim, an unmistakable signature that has become one of Christofle's most iconic and enduring motifs. Quietly elegant and instantly recognizable, this piece reflects the maison's mastery of French art de la table: simple in form, exquisite in detail, and made to be passed down. A small but distinguished addition to any refined table setting.
