About This Piece
French Christofle silver-plated menu holder dating to the Art Deco period, beautifully blending refined geometry with delicate natural ornamentation.
The angular base reflects the clean, modern lines that define Art Deco design, while a graceful border of stylized bay leaves and berries softens the form with a timeless French elegance. The result is a piece that is both architectural and organic—a hallmark of Christofle’s exceptional design during the early twentieth century.
Originally created to display menus or place cards at the table, this versatile piece is equally suited today for holding a dinner menu, table number, place card, or cherished photograph. It makes a refined addition to a formal table setting or a distinctive accent in a collection of French silver.
Hallmarks & Provenance
The holder bears the authentic Christofle hallmark used between 1862 and 1935, a mark associated with the firm’s renowned craftsmanship and enduring quality.

Whether admired for its elegant Art Deco styling or its connection to one of France’s most celebrated silversmiths, this menu holder is a beautiful example of Christofle’s ability to unite artistry, function, and enduring French design.
