Inspired by Napoleon III, MALMAISON, one of Christofle's most successful patterns to date, was created in 1909. Its palmette relief, a decorative element which resembles a stylized palm leaf, is very characteristic of the French Empire Style. Napoleon had imposed the palmette design through most of the Decorative Arts of the period as it symbolized his past and future victories. The castle of Malmaison, on the outskirts of Paris was Napoleon's preferred week-end getaway and the permanent residence of the Empress Josephine. The elegance and purity of the line have been appreciated by heads of state as diverse as the King of Nepal, the former Shah of Iran, the former president Anwar El Sadat of Egypt for his private plane, by the President of the Republic of Zaire and the President of the Republic of Togo.It is also Princess Caroline of Monaco's daily cutlery.
