Christofle Marly is a symbol of luxury and elegance. This sterling silver cutlery pattern is created in 1890 and it takes its name from the Chรขteau de Marly, located near Paris. It was a summer hunting lodge built for Louis XIV. “Marly” is the most richly decorated model in the Christofle cutlery collection.
The fine chiselling of the plant decoration is typical of the Rocaille style that is style of Louis XV. It underlines the richness and refinement of the table “ร la franรงaise”. So, we can say that Christofle reinvented the old motifs applying them to the highest standards befitting of the celebrated hallmark. This is Christofleโs oldest pattern.
The dishwasher is an effective way to maintain your Christofle silverware in clean and perfect condition, as long as you note the following:
1. Before the first use, wash your silverware by hand with neutral dishwashing liquid without synthetic fragrance. Dish soaps containing citrus or lemon are to be avoided.
2. Use only washing powders formulated without chlorine or citric acid (proscribe gels and liquids which often contain chlorine as well as “lemon perfumes” containing citric acid). Avoid multifunction tablets.
3. When filling your dishwasher with regenerating salt, avoid putting silverware in on the first use.
4. Follow the dishwasher’s instructions for water hardness: lime water that is too hard can be corrosive.
5. Eggs, lemon, mustard, fish, some fruits and legumes can also cause silverware to turn yellow. Prewashing by hand may be useful.
6. Ideally, we advise that you partially open the dishwasher door at the end of the cycle, so that the dishes do not remain in an atmosphere saturated with vapor. Wipe the cutlery if they are still damp.
7. Avoid the presence of crystal glasses which may also tarnish the silver.
8. Important: Separate silver cutlery from stainless steel: silver does not coexist well with other metals. Run two separate cycles or place them in a distant cutlery basket far from each other.
