Marly

The Christofle Marly flatware collection is a stunning embodiment of French elegance and craftsmanship, taking its name from the Château de Marly, a once opulent retreat built by Louis XIV just outside of Paris. Though the château was destroyed during the Revolution, its legacy endures through this exquisite flatware collection, which has been a part of Christofle’s offerings since 1897.

The Christofle Marly flatware design is one of the most intricately decorated patterns in the Christofle catalog, reflecting the richness and refinement of the French table. Inspired by the Rocaille style, the Marly flatware features detailed and ornate plant and shell motifs, showcasing the silversmith’s exceptional artistry and attention to detail. The fine chasing work on each piece of Christofle Marly silverplate flatware highlights the exquisite craftsmanship, making it a timeless choice for those who appreciate the beauty of French decorative arts.

The collection’s name also pays homage to the “marli,” the inclined edge of a plate that allows for easy handling without soiling the fingers—a concept believed to have originated in the informal yet elegant setting of the Château de Marly. This historical connection adds an extra layer of significance to the Marly flatware, blending functionality with artistic design.

Available in both sterling silver and silverplate, Christofle Marly flatware offers a versatile range of options, perfect for any occasion. Whether for formal dining or special celebrations, the Marly cutlery set adds a touch of historical elegance and sophisticated charm to the table, making it a beloved choice for connoisseurs of fine flatware.
