Elysée

This early 18th-century Bavarian-style service has graced the ceremonial tables of the Presidents of the French Republic at the Élysée Palace since the late 1940s. The delicate chasing on the sterling silver handles requires meticulous hand-finishing. The elegance of the Elysée model can be enhanced by the addition of ornamental gems: a cabochon of onyx, jade or red jasper is set and placed à la française on the bottom of the handles.
