Malmaison Impériale Platinum

The graceful shine of precious metals against soft, almost see-through porcelain transforms dining into a ritual of style and flavor. The platinum-detailed Christofle Malmaison Impériale set is a shining tribute to what’s possible when elegance, craftsmanship, and human touch come together in perfect harmony. Uncover the dinnerware masterpiece of a famed atelier that now stands as one of the finest curators of Limoges porcelain artistry and style, beyond its reputation for gorgeous, jewel-like cutlery.

Christofle: Pushing the Boundaries

With roots tracing back to the mid-19th century, Christofle has become a symbol of French refinement, celebrated for its silver and stainless steel flatware, decorative pieces, and home gifts. 

Anyone who’s ever laid eyes on these pieces knows—their beauty and quality are beyond words. It’s the result of extraordinary craftsmanship and artistic dedication from the brand’s artisans. With time, the workshop welcomed gifted decorators and painters alongside its expert craftsmen. Thanks to their influence, the house took a graceful leap into new areas—most notably, luxurious fine dining collections. To match the elegance of its metals, the house turned to one of Europe’s most prized materials: Limoges kaolin clay. Admired by collectors and experts alike, it’s valued for its almost weightless delicacy and unmistakable natural white glow.

Today, Christofle’s refined tableware collections work in harmony with its conceptual flatware, bringing a unified vision to the table. Staying true to the philosophy of art de la table, the manufactory brings together noble metals and fine porcelain in its collections, offering refined table ensembles. 

From cutlery and glassware to the most delicate porcelain plates, every piece is crafted in perfect harmony and quality to make each detail a visual delight.

Malmaison Impériale Platinum: The Art and Iconic Beauty

More than just fine porcelain, Malmaison Impériale Platinum is a curated expression of history, luxury, and savoir-faire, crafted with rich finishes, artisanal detail, and cutting-edge porcelain artistry. Timeless yet versatile, this collection resonates with those who appreciate both classical beauty and modern finesse, seamlessly transitioning from a banquet showpiece to a refined element of in-flight dining elegance.

Design Details: Imperial Motifs with a Modern Twist

The classic aesthetics of the full Malmaison range take their cue from the refined style of Napoleon’s time. Continuing this narrative, the Imperiale Platinum tableware collection follows the same majestic Empire style, featuring the signature palmette motif and lavish platinum detailing. In a refined shift, the designers translated the iconic visual language onto porcelain plates and cups. 

What sets this collection apart is the uniqueness of every item—each with its own original pattern and character. Such individuality invites creative combinations, letting you curate elegant and diverse arrangements at the table.

Christofle Malmaison Impériale: Limoges Porcelain Plus the Luxury of Platinum

What makes this dinnerware collection so distinctive is its foundation in the very best: pure Limoges porcelain and genuine platinum—materials celebrated by connoisseurs for their elegance and prestige. To create these plates, Christofle didn’t just choose the finest authentic French kaolin clay, but invested in the mastery of shaping, firing, and finishing it with artistic precision. 

Just like with their signature flatware, the craftsmen and artists treat every detail: every line, every swirl, with care and intention, from large serving dishes to the tiniest teacups. Adorned with ultra-fine platinum decoration, each item in the set reflects true craftsmanship. Unlike other finishes, this noble metal resists fading and stands the test of time. 

The manufactory also offers the Malmaison Impériale Gold collection, where the same imperial motif is reinterpreted in polished gold, lending the tableware a warm, sunlit glow of ceremonial luxury.

The platinum edition offers a more subtle and sophisticated look—perfectly in tune with the crisp sparkle of fine silver and crystal. It brings effortless elegance to both daily tables and high-profile celebrations.

Craftsmanship & Tradition

Bringing the Christofle Platinum collection to life involves a meticulous, multi-layered process where time-honored French and Limoges traditions meet the precision of contemporary techniques. A perfect example is the innovative firing method that bonds platinum to the porcelain, preserving the intricate detailing and ensuring it remains as luminous as the day it was made. 

Each object is brought to life by the hands of experienced craftsmen, and it’s that personal, handcrafted element that gives the collection its rare and unrepeatable character. Production is carried out exclusively in France, and that’s no coincidence. French masters uphold Christofle’s exacting standards, ensuring every piece emerges as a porcelain work of art.
