I have browsed through many pictures online, but haven't been able to find a match to this Christofle flatware. The set is from the late 19th century or very early 20th century.

Re: Christofle pattern from late 1800s
»Christofle« cutlery pattern mix
Hello »patricio89«
Here you could learn a lot on »Christofle«: http://www.925-1000.com/a_christofle.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The »Christofle« cutlery is, so as it was usual by »Christofle« and their competitors (e.g. Berndorfer, Wellner, WMF …), around the end of XIX and begins of XX century, in reality a mix of pattern.
That was especially usual by standard pattern; e.g. for the public use (hotels, restaurants, hospitals, army, cruise ship’s …) and for the market of basics, e.g. just married …
In yours case, the knife is in the plain round “Baguette” pattern number »3«, fork and spoon the “Dutch” pattern »3301«. Here you see the usual spread of a pattern range = »3« and the descendants of that basic pattern.
Actually I haven’t more details to my disposal; sorry.
For final I request you, please add the some where placed images to yours questions not only as a link — but as a visible image, please bigger as a “thumbnail”; and let them stay as long as ever possible.
That would help others too.
Thank you!
Kind regards silverport
