How is Christofle 1900 - 1937 Hallmark identified?

The Christofle hallmark from 1900 to 1937 reflects a vibrant era of artistic evolution, spanning the late Belle Époque, the Art Nouveau movement, and the emergence of Art Deco design. During this period, Christofle continued to refine its electroplating techniques, producing elegant silver-plated and sterling works that embodied both luxury and modern innovation. This hallmark features the balance scales and bee — enduring symbols of Christofle’s precision and Napoleonic heritage — alongside the “OC” initials for Orfèvrerie Christofle. It marks pieces crafted during a time when the firm collaborated with leading designers and adapted to the bold geometric aesthetics that defined the 1920s and 1930s. Objects bearing this hallmark are admired for their artistic versatility, ranging from ornate organic forms of early 20th-century French design to the clean, streamlined elegance of the Art Deco age. The 1900–1937 hallmark stands as a testament to Christofle’s continued leadership in fine silver craftsmanship through periods of great artistic transformation.
