A silver-plated cake or pie server by Christofle, Marly pattern, reference no. 59. The Marly pattern is among the great classics of French silverware.

An antique example in good used condition, showing normal signs of wear visible on the blade. The silver plating is well preserved. French made, produced in the 1980s. Length: 26.5 cm. An ideal piece to complete a Marly flatware set, replace a missing piece, or create a beautiful serving and collector's item.
