This silver-plated sauce boat and integrated oval stand originates from the mid twentieth century within the Art Nouveau style. Produced in France by Christofle as part of their Gallia collection, the tableware has a bright silver colour and a smooth polished metallic finish. The body rests upon an integrated oval underplate featuring a decorative beaded rim, while the handle rises into a sculpted eagle head with detailed carving on the face and feathers. The underside bears the maker's stamps including the Christofle and Gallia marks, the OC chess piece, and the Prod Christofle stamp. Light surface scratches and minor marks indicate age and use. Measuring 23 cm in length, 15 cm in width, and 17 cm in height with a weight of 728 g, the piece sits upon a sideboard top or dining table to serve gravies and sauces during meals. It adds a French chateau aesthetic to formal dining settings and serves as a functional display item in a modern home.

FAQs

A French sauciere is a specialized vessel designed for serving sauces and gravies during formal dining occasions, frequently featuring an attached or matching underplate to catch drips.

Gallia metalwork features a base metal alloy coated in a layer of electroplated silver, created to allow detailed sculptural casting and relief work.

Authentic pieces feature makers marks stamped on the base, including the Christofle name, specific hallmark symbols such as a chess piece or goat, or the Gallia collection emblem.

A silver sauce boat can be styled on a dining sideboard as a decorative accent, displayed on a kitchen dress shelf alongside glassware, or repurposed on a dressing table as a trinket dish.

Clean using a soft cotton cloth with silver polish formulated for plated metals, avoid abrasive pads, and store in low-humidity environments to minimize oxidisation.
