Superb Quality as expected from Christofle, true Antique to be used today! 5 3/8" WIDE.
For serving soup, as well as fruit salads, cocktails, etc. - CHINON pattern was launched in 1862, this model was known for many years as “Filet” or “Vieux Paris.” The stately form and sober ridges suggest the shape of a violin. Length is about 12 1/2 inches or 31.5 CM - High quality French Silver plate.
French silver-plated Christofle wares are highly collectible as the quality is just superb. Dealer we consulted with, valued this at over $395.00 and labeled it " Expert craftsman made older soup ladle."
