Charles Halphen established his Parisian firm in the mid-19th century and later acquired Gombault-Desclercs, a manufacturer known for \u003cem\u003emétal Gombault\u003c\/em\u003e, a silver-colored alloy developed for fine tableware and silver plating. The firms became known for beautifully made serving pieces that combined the elegance of traditional French silver with the durability required for everyday use.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIn 1888, the Halphen and Gombault businesses were acquired by Christofle, becoming part of the Manufacture de l'Alfénide and linking their history to one of France's most celebrated silver houses. Today, pieces bearing the Halphen and Gombault marks are wonderful remnants of France's 19th- and early-20th-century tradition of gracious dining—useful, beautifully made, and particularly lovely with the soft patina that comes only with age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"elsie green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51725849985270,"sku":"194857","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2336\/3701\/files\/EG_SKU_091626_-382.jpg?v=1790075491","url":"https:\/\/elsiegreen.com\/products\/vintage-glass-cake-dome-antique-halphen-silver-platter","provider":"elsie green","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
