Christofle Silver-Plated Sauce Spoon

The silver plated sauce spoon in the Fidélio pattern is ideal for skimming sauces off a plate and can substitute as a fish knife. The flat-bottomed utensil was created for this purpose in 1950 by Paris’ famous Lasserre restaurant. Fidélio, then called Baguette, was one of Christofle’s first flatware patterns. It was reintroduced in 1992, slightly modernized for greater fluidity, but ultimately it remained the same reliable classic with a rib on the handle to add interest and texture.
