A legend at Christofle says that Charles himself invented the napkin ring! It is a unique personal item on the table and assigns each guest their place. Charles' family was very close; therefore, each napkin ring is inspired by women who shaped his life: Anne, Hyacinthe, Anne-Henriette, Rosine and Marie-Rose. Henriette (named after Anne-Henriette (1800-1837) was the younger sister of Charles Christofle. She was also the mother-in-law of Leon Rouvenat, a partner of Charles Christofle in the jewellery business. With this collection, the Maison invites you to Charles Christofle's family table. This napkin ring is silver-plated and has an oval shape.
