About the Item
Direct from Paris, A Magnificent 10-piece Sterling Silver Tea Set by France's Premier Silversmith Cardeilhac (Christofle), "Silversmiths to the Aristocracy of Europe". The French silversmith Christofle, formerly known as Cardeilhac, stands as a prominent figure in the history of silver craftsmanship. With a legacy that spans over two centuries, the house of Christofle has been synonymous with excellence in silverware, catering to the needs of French royalty, the elite, and connoisseurs of fine craftsmanship worldwide.
The history of Christofle (Cardeilhac) traces its roots to the early 19th century. In 1830, Charles Christofle, a jeweler from Paris, joined forces with Antoine Cardeilhac, a talented silversmith, to form a partnership that would later become one of the most celebrated names in silverware. Initially named Cardeilhac, the company quickly gained recognition for its exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to quality.
One of the factors that contributed significantly to the success of Cardeilhac was its early association with French royalty. In 1842, the company received the prestigious title of "Fournisseur de l'Empereur" (Supplier to the Emperor) under Napoleon III. This royal patronage not only elevated Cardeilhac's reputation but also provided access to a wealthy and influential clientele. In 1862, Charles Christofle assumed sole ownership of the company and subsequently changed its name to "Christofle." The silversmiths at Christofle are renowned for their exceptional skill and attention to detail, ensuring that each piece of silverware is a masterpiece in its own right.
Christofle's influence on the art of silversmithing cannot be overstated. The company's dedication to innovation and design has set industry standards and inspired generations of silversmiths. Its ability to adapt to changing tastes and technologies while maintaining a commitment to traditional craftsmanship has been a driving force in the evolution of silverware. The enduring legacy of Christofle is underscored by its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and design. Today, the company operates as the Christofle Maison, with a continued dedication to producing exquisite silverware, tableware, and decorative items that reflect the brand's rich heritage.
Christofle (Cardeilhac), the illustrious French silversmith, has left an indelible mark on the world of silver craftsmanship. From its humble beginnings in the 19th century to its global prominence today, the brand's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, innovative design, and adaptability has been the key to its enduring success. Christofle's influence on the art of silversmithing is not only a testament to its rich history but also a testament to its ongoing commitment to excellence in silverware and decorative arts. As Christofle continues to evolve in the 21st century, it remains a symbol of the marriage between tradition and innovation, reminding us that the art of silversmithing is not just a historical pursuit but a living tradition that continues to captivate and inspire.

Antique French 950 Sterling Silver Tea Set - Like New!By Boin-TaburetLocated in Wilmington, DEDirect from a Private Mansion in Paris, A Stunning 6pc., 19th Century 950 Sterling Silver Louis XVI Tea Set by Premier French Silversmith "Boin Taburet", An Ultra Luxurious Addition to any Stately Home and Includes 6 Anti-Tarnish Wraps for Easy Storage, Absolutely Magnificent, circa late 1890s. The world of silver-smithing has witnessed the rise and fall of many notable firms throughout its history. In the realm of French silver-smithing, the name "Boin-Taburet" stands as a symbol of enduring excellence, innovation, and craftsmanship. The history of Boin-Taburet is closely linked to the two families that merged to create this iconic firm. The story begins with the Boin family, where Alexis Boin, a skilled silversmith, laid the foundation of the firm. Boin's craftsmanship and artistic abilities were quickly recognized, and his works gained prominence during the early 19th century. The Taburet family, on the other hand, was equally esteemed in the silver-smithing world. Auguste Taburet, known for his intricate designs and fine workmanship, brought the Taburet name to the forefront of French silver-smithing. It was the union of these two families through marriage in 1845 that established the firm known as "Boin-Taburet." Boin-Taburet was known for its distinctive style, which drew inspiration from various art movements of the time. The firm's early works were heavily influenced by the neoclassical aesthetic, with a focus on symmetry, balance, and elegant simplicity. However, as the firm evolved, it adapted to the changing artistic landscape. The Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements had a profound impact on Boin-Taburet's designs. Their creations began to feature organic, flowing lines and intricate geometric patterns, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the early 20th century. The quality and craftsmanship of Boin-Taburet's silverware, exemplified in this stunning tea set, earned the firm a well-deserved reputation. Notably, Boin-Taburet received royal patronage from Emperor Napoleon III, which marked a significant milestone in their history. This recognition catapulted the firm to new heights, and they began creating exquisite pieces for the French royal court. Their exceptional work was displayed at prestigious international exhibitions, further enhancing their reputation on the global stage. The firm's achievements were not limited to France, as Boin-Taburet's pieces found homes in royal collections around the world. Their export business thrived, and they supplied silverware to various European courts and aristocrats, cementing their status as a globally recognized brand. The history of the Boin-Taburet firm is a testament to the enduring power of craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic vision. From its humble beginnings, the firm rose to become a symbol of French silversmith excellence, receiving recognition from royalty and international acclaim. Their distinct style, influenced by various artistic movements, remains a source of inspiration for artisans today. This magnificent tea set is a stunning example of the quality and craftsmanship for which the firm is internationally known. Each piece has been meticulously restored to like new condition. The magnificent teapot measures approximately 18.50 cm. in height to the top of the lid, roughly 22.00 cm. across from the tip of the spout to the end of the handle and weights 741 grams. It bears the French Government’s Head of the Minerva 1 hallmark, certifying a minimum of 950 sterling silver, and is stamped on the underside "Boin Taburet a Paris...Category
