Christofle, a French silverware manufacturer established in 1830 and a brand favored by famous restaurants. Among the cutlery (knives, forks, etc.) manufactured by Christofle, the special models are made of sterling silver. Sterling silver means "92.5% pure silver." Silver is soft, and 100% pure silver is not suitable for practical use. Furthermore, the "Renaissance" series, which signifies the regeneration of life, is the most intricately crafted series among the sterling silver pieces. It features a design with a small head and the tree of life, a symbol of regeneration, intertwined, creating a strong presence. It is a completely handmade work. Compared to other series, it is "incomparably" expensive, and truly a coveted masterpiece worthy of being called the pinnacle. The size is also larger than series like Marly, and it has a presence like a sculpture, as well as being tableware. The black tarnish has been removed with a silver cleaner. I believe it is in overall excellent condition. Just to be clear, the plates in the background of the photos are not included. ■ Manufacturer: Christofle, France ■ Material: Sterling Silver 925 ■ Size: 25.3cm ■ Included: Anti-tarnish bag (the green one in the photo) Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
