Christofle Silver-Plated Cheese Knife

The silver plated cheese knife in the América pattern also has two teeth at the end to pick cheese off of a cheese plate. Following World War I, America became synonymous with modernity and the world fell in love with its music, literature, art, lifestyle and architecture. To commemorate the across-the-pond admiration, Christofle named this 1933-launched Art Deco pattern of angular corners, beveled edges and masculine lines after the country.
