Antique：Yes Composition：Silver Plate Product：Sauce vendre Boats Material：Silver Plate
Here we have an excellent example of Christofle's iconic silver plated swan gravy boat and spoon, designed in 1935 by Christian Fjerdingstad, the leading Danish silversmith and designer. The boat evokes the swan's tail, whilst the spoon, which sits on the rim of the boat due to a small catch, takes the form of the swan's neck and head. Together the combination is simply stunning. This example is in excellent condition, with deep, lustrous plate throughout and no scratches, dents or other imperfections to distract from the beautiful design, other than the usual micro abrasions from gentle polishing. The boat and the spoon bear the Christofle maker's mark and the ‘Coll. Gallia' stamps respectively. All marks are crisp and clear. Please see the photos. This would be an extremely elegant and eye-catching addition to any fine table, not to mention a wonderful talking point. The last two pictures are taken from the Christofle website which is offering these pieces from their ‘Vintage ‘ collection. These pages also provide technical details and sizing information. The items would be very well wrapped and sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery, tracked..
