Presented in their fitted case signed CARDEILHAC – ARGENT MASSIF 950/000, these salt cellars embody the historic link between two of the greatest French silversmithing houses. Founded in the 19th century and celebrated for the quality of its silverware, CARDEILHAC was absorbed by CHRISTOFLE in 1951, which explains this historic association.
