Alfénide was a silversmithing brand created in the 19th century by Charles Halphen and acquired by Christofle in the early 20th century.
Christofle used the Alfénide brand to produce some of their models, creating overlaps with others in their range. Thus, both hallmarks appear on this model. These are exactly the same flatware pieces, with the exact same design, produced in the same workshops; only the hallmark changes: "Alfénide" for pieces from the 1950s and Christofle for more recent pieces.
Original case in very good condition.
Total weight without case: 2.3 kg, with case: 3.2 kg.
