The piece functions as a chauffe-plat, a warming stand designed to hold a plate or serving dish above a candle or heat source, and bears the stamped mark \"Gallia France Prod. Christofle\" clearly visible on the base, confirming its manufacture and origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top surface features an intricate pierced lattice of repeating diamond and arch forms radiating outward from a recessed central well. This open reticulated work would allow heat to rise from beneath while supporting a plate above. The outer rim is finished with a continuous bead border, a classic detail associated with formal French silverware. The piece stands on three small ball feet. The fourth photo shows the item disassembled into its two components: the pierced upper tray and the deeper lower base, which are joined by small screws. The silverplate shows tarnishing and wear consistent with age, with copper base metal visible in areas of heavier use, particularly on the underside and inner base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe assembled piece measures approximately 22.5cm diameter x 6.5cm height \/ 8.9\" x 2.6\". These dimensions are as stated by the seller and consistent with what is visible in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn interesting collectible from the Christofle Gallia range, this warming stand would suit a collector of French silverplate or serve as a decorative centrepiece on a dining table. The Gallia mark is sought after by collectors of early twentieth century French tableware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"ercuis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57810472304984,"sku":"325077424085_7022_68D0_5590_6FAF","price":209.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_25cf5fe0-895f-4a37-96d9-34d6f1332f67.jpg?v=1785060529","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/christofle-gallia-silverplate-dish-26072613","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
