The pleasure of a beautifully made cocktail extends to the details beneath the glass. These three vintage Christofle coasters bring French elegance to the table with their octagonal silhouettes, stepped linear borders, and softly reflective silver-plated surfaces.
Circular wells framed by crisp, geometric edges give them an architectural quality that pairs beautifully with both traditional crystal and modern glassware. Their restrained design makes them easy to incorporate into a collected table, whether for an evening aperitivo, holiday entertaining, or a quiet drink beside the fire.
Each coaster bears the Christofle France signature and maker’s marks on the underside. Offered as a matching set of three.
