Notes
Named after a former pleasure palace built by Louis XIV near Paris, the Marly pattern has been one of the most intricate and ornate designs in Christofle's catalog since its creation in 1897. The fine chasing of this pattern is a stunning example of Rocaille, featuring asymmetrical motifs of crawling plants and shells. Its detailed artistry continues to captivate as a timeless representation of elegance and craftsmanship.
