The latter wrote an article about him in Domus magazine and presented his work in 1956 in Paris at an exhibition devoted to Italian design. Sabatini subsequently achieved international recognition and became design director for Christofle Orfèvrerie (which had acquired Cardeilhac in 1951). He breathed new life into the house, founded in 1830, by designing flatware, shaped pieces, and candlesticks with modernist lines for the "Formes Nouvelles" collection. The Como model is most often made in silver-plated metal by Christofle for the Gallia collection. This silver edition by Christofle-Cardeilhac is therefore particularly rare. Provenance: - Acquired directly from Christofle on June 12, 1957. Bibliography: Bibliography: - Connaissance des Arts, May 1999, No. 561, p. 71, for an identical model in silver.
