Charles Christofle began his career at the age of 15, in 1820. He took over his brother-in-law’s bijouterie-joaillerie 'Maison Calmette' in 1830. After obtaining the exclusive rights of the galvanic process argenterie electro-chimique patented by Elkington & Co. and Ruolz, Christofle introduced his array of products to an approving audience at the Exposition des produits de l'industrie Française in Paris in 1844. Christofle’s gilt bronze, silver, and plated pieces were hugely successful. After his death in 1865 Paul Christofle and his nephew Henri Bouilhet succeeded him and the firm became known as ‘Charles Christofle et Cie’. Through their success and continued acclaim at the major international exhibitions, they won important commissions from King Louis-Philippe and Emperor Napoléon III and won the title of Fournisseur officiel du Roi et de l'Empereur.
