This striking silver-plated sauce boat is a rare and highly collectible piece by Christofle, one of France’s most prestigious silversmiths. Made under the Gallia line — a subdivision of Christofle known for its bold and artistic designs — this piece dates to circa 1930 and showcases the brand’s signature blend of classical inspiration and Art Deco flair.
Its sculptural form features an eagle-head handle rendered in exquisite detail, capturing both strength and refinement. The dynamic shape of the vessel curves elegantly toward a wide spout, resting on an integrated oval tray with a delicately beaded border. The underside bears the hallmark CHRISTOFLE FRANCE, along with the OC initials and the COLLECTION GALLIA stamp, attesting to its authenticity and origin.
This piece is not only functional as a sauce or gravy boat but also makes a bold statement as a decorative object. Whether displayed on a formal dining table or in a cabinet of curiosities, it is sure to attract attention for its rarity, craftsmanship, and the powerful symbolism of the eagle motif.
In excellent vintage condition with only minor surface wear consistent with age. A superb addition for collectors of fine French silver or decorative arts.
