Wikipedia wrote:It was in 1842 that he began to exploit for France the patents of the Englishmen Henry and Georges-Richard Elkington4 concerning a process of electrolytic gilding and silvering. Faced with the success of the process, he founded in 1845 the company "Charles Christofle & Cie" and began manufacturing as early as 1846 the pieces to be silvered, thus becoming independent of the other goldsmiths.
The attachment on the bottom is also a good indication

Also pay special attention to the Baccarat glass with stem, this indicates an old manufacture.
