Christofle, Malmaison accessories, Oil & vinegar cruet set
The "Malmaison" oil and vinegar cruets from Christofle are a stunning addition to any dining table. Comprised of two wide-necked glass carafes on a silverplated stand, these cruets embody the sophistication and attention to detail of the "Malmaison" range. Inspired by the French Empire Style of the early nineteenth century, the "Malmaison" range is marked by an enthusiasm for motifs from antiquity. This is evident in the row of palm leaves that decorates the vinegar and oil cruet stand. Despite its name, which translates literally to "bad house," the "Malmaison" range is not intended for ramshackle residences. In fact, "Malmaison" was the name of the country residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and his first wife Joséphine de Beauharnais. These products from the Parisian silversmith Christofle are meant for elegant, refined dining. Add these oil and vinegar cruets to your collection and bring a touch of Napoleonic grandeur to your table.
