"Small Samovar From The Cristofle Company, Napoleon III Era "
Imagine yourself seated in a comfortable moiré-upholstered armchair in your conservatory, sipping tea and reading the latest novel. Cristofle has created this delicate silver-plated samovar just for you. The handle is covered in woven rattan in various colors, and the lid's finial is formed by a bindweed, emblematic of Cristofle's creations from this period. The body of the teapot is engraved with a count's coronet. There are a few minor dents from use, but the silver plating, for which this house is renowned, is excellent, and the overall condition is good.
