Set for a Table That Still Exists
Silver

Christofle set Khedivial tables long before it became a household name elsewhere. What survives — filigree tea sets, place settings, silver that has been polished by three generations of the same hands — carries a particular kind of intimacy. This was never museum silver. It was used, argued over at dinner, passed down with instructions about which niece gets which piece. We source what still holds that warmth.

Did You Know? Christofle opened a dedicated Cairo showroom in the 1880s — one of only a handful of cities outside France to receive one — recognising Egypt as among its most discerning international markets.
