Caviar service, design Luc Lanel, Normandie, silver-plated

About the Item

Caviar service in silver-plated metal, designed by Luc Lanel for the legendary Normandie ocean liner, inaugurated in 1932. A symbol of the golden age of Art Deco style, this service reflects the excellence of French craftsmanship and the understated elegance that characterized the pieces of silverware created for this floating palace. The Normandie liner, a true masterpiece of 1930s engineering and design, was decorated by the greatest artists of its time. The works created for this exceptional ship, now preserved in museums or private collections, stand out for their elegant durability, perfect balance of volumes, and remarkable geometric simplicity. This caviar service exemplifies these qualities, where each detail—from its delicate shape to its precise contours—imbues the piece with its full decorative splendor. This service also highlights the vast scope of work carried out by Christofle to furnish the Normandie. With nearly 45,000 pieces of silverware provided, ranging from cutlery to the most refined accessories, Christofle embodied French refinement aboard this "palace of the seas." Each piece, designed to combine elegance and functionality, was crafted to meet the lifestyle demands aboard this iconic vessel. Ideal for adorning an elegant table or completing a prestigious collection, this Christofle caviar service is a unique testament to maritime history and French table artistry. An exceptional piece for Art Deco enthusiasts and collectors of rare historical objects.
