Christofle: A Brilliant Story
The Official Musée des Arts Décoratifs Exhibition Monograph

Published by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, this magnificent volume celebrates nearly two centuries of French silversmithing, innovation, and decorative art from the House of Christofle. Founded in the 1830s by Charles Christofle, the manufacture revolutionized fine tableware and design, collaborating with visionary figures across eras—including Gio Ponti, Luc Lanel, Andrée Putman, and Karl Lagerfeld.
Richly illustrated with 260 color plates, the book journeys through legendary dining rooms and emblems of luxury travel: from the Ritz Paris and the Orient-Express to the ocean liner Normandie and the Concorde. Across 13 thematic essays and 61 detailed entries, it explores Christofle’s transformative dialogue with major movements in decorative art, spanning Japonism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and bold contemporary design.
