Christofle is a luxury French silverware and tableware company founded in Paris in 1830 by Charles Christofle. The company is known for having introduced electrolytic gilding and silver plating in France in 1842. Christofle supplied wares for King Louis-Philippe in 1846 and for Emperor Napoleon III in 1851. Its titles of “Goldsmith of the King” and “Supplier of the Emperor” made them internationally famous, and foreign sovereigns began to solicit work from them, including Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, the Tsar of Russia, the German Kaiser, and the Sultan Abdulaziz of the Ottoman Empire. When Charles Christofle died his son Paul (1838-1907) and his nephew Henri Bouilhet (1830-1910) succeeded him and continued to expand the company. Thanks to the development of new techniques (massive electroplating, enamels, patinas, natural impressions, etc.) and the opening of new factories in Saint-Denis and Karlsruhe, Christofle became one of the major goldsmiths of the 19th Century. It was acquired in 2012 by one of its shareholders, the Chalhoub family’s luxury group.
