Christofle Hotel Silver Plate Saucepan, Cairo Savoy

About This Piece

A petite Christofle hotel silver plate saucepan, c. 1900, made for the prestigious Savoy Hotel in Cairo. The hotel’s emblem is gracefully etched on the handle, evoking an era of refined dining and polished service. Most likely used to serve individual sauces to hotel patrons, this charming piece is equally suited to serving sauces, vegetables, or desserts today — a functional item and a collectible treasure in equal measure.

Christofle has been one of France’s most respected silversmiths and manufacturers of luxury items since 1830.
