French Antique Art Deco/Modernist Christofle/Alfenide Bowl
A sleekly elegant oval, silverplated bowl by Christofle – signed Alfenide which was the company’s silverplating subsidiary.
It is stamped and hallmarked OC for Orfevrerie Christofle.
Measuring 12 ½ inches by 8 ¼ inches, it stands 2 ¼ inches high.
It has a very modernist styling with curves on the sides and is in excellent condition, with faint traces of surface wear.
Useful to have on hand, it would look very sophisticated on a table to present bread, biscuits and even as a vegetable server.
