How is Christofle 1937 - Present Hallmark identified?

The Christofle hallmark from 1937 to the present represents the enduring identity of one of France’s most prestigious silversmiths. This mark, still in use today, features the balance scales flanked by the initials “OC” — standing for Orfèvrerie Christofle — and the bee, symbolizing both industriousness and Napoleonic heritage. Introduced in the late 1930s, it reflects the firm’s transition into the modern era while maintaining its heritage of exquisite craftsmanship and technical innovation. Pieces bearing this hallmark may date from the Art Deco period through contemporary production, encompassing collaborations with renowned designers such as Gio Ponti and Andrée Putman. It remains a definitive emblem of French silver artistry, timeless design, and luxury refinement.
