The silver plated salad serving fork in the Malmaison pattern can be used in conjunction with a salad serving spoon to dish up mixed greens. The wide and round bowl and tines minimizes leaf damage. One of Christofle's most historic patterns, Malmaison typifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm and lotus leaves and symmetrical design. The name is a nod to the Chateau de la Malmaison, a favored Parisian residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine.
