Christofle MARLY Sterling Oyster Forks Rare Set of 4 Antique France 1897
A rare and exquisiite Set of 4 1897 antique MARLY pattern Oyster forks from the French silver house of Christofle. The Maison Christofle Paris has been creating sublime silverwork since 1830.

It regards Sterling as that material which is sublime and special: it is shiny without ostentation, intelligent without pretense, and versatile yet sincere. " "Marly, named after a no-longer-standing pleasure palace built by Louis XIV outside Paris, has been one of the most detailed and ornate patterns in the Christofles catalog since it was created in 1897.

The fine chasing is an exquisite example of Rocaille with its asymmetrical crawling plant and shell motifs. Launched in 1890, this pattern expresses the lavish refinement of the French Table. With its natural decoration & voluptuous curves, Marly is characteristic of the Louis XV style. Reference Christofle This Sterling Silver set of 4 Oyster forks is so rare to find and would make an excellent addition to any table or Sterling collection. Total weight (4 forks) : 116 grams Measures: Approx 5 3/4 inches Full hallmarks on face of fork, see images.

Gracefully monogrammed on back of fork. Excellent antique condition with some surface wear, scratches and light tarnish as would be expected with age and use.
