Christofle
Duel des Thés
Given that the contemporary hallmark embossed on Christofle’s fine silverware is a knight, a luxe chess set from the 194-year-old French tableware company—the first game it has ever produced— feels apropos. Duel des Thés is a clever nod to brand history, elegantly rendered in fossilised oak, vermeil, and mirror-polished sterling silver by Christofle’s Haute Orfèvrerie workshop.
The name translates to ‘duel of teas’, which is precisely what transpires from the opening gambit, pitting the house’s famous art nouveau and art deco tea sets against one another by replacing key pieces with teapots, creamers, cups, and sugar bowls.
Artisans make each component—plus all the moulds and other tools used to produce them—by hand at the brand’s factory in Normandy. The boards are assembled by Jean-Brieuc Chevalier, a cabinetmaker from Angers, who inlays the wood with reflective sterling-silver squares.
Truly, a game beautiful enough to let everyone feel like a winner.
