Christofle Silver-Plated Sève d'Argent Square Tray (32cm)

*Surtout*, literally translating from Cristofle’s native French tongue to ‘above all’, stems from the final years of Louis XIV’s reign, in which elegant service became a hallmark of France’s excellence. This silver-plated square tray may once have begun with a utility-designed function of storing on-table necessities – think salt, pepper, notes on dinner-appropriate subjects – but is now a remarkable addition to any tabletop, with its mirrored finish reflecting the charming pieces set atop its polished surface.
