The Christofle Gallia Pelican and Swan knife/stick stands (15246) are the epitome of French craftsmanship, artistic vision and sophisticated functionality. Created as part of the legendary Gallia collection, these objects transport us to the atmosphere of the artistic traditions of the early 20th century, when decorativeness and symbolism played a key role in the design of household items.
The coasters were designed by Yevgeny Volynkin, a sculptor of Ukrainian origin who lived and worked in Paris. The artist became famous for his angular, stylized images of animals — his work was exhibited at the Autumn Salon in 1928. In this pair of stands, Volynkin embodied the images of a pelican and a swan through elongated, graphic lines that create the effect of lightness and dynamics.
The products are made of silver—plated steel, a material that guarantees durability and the preservation of a noble shine for many years. The special silvering technology ensures resistance to tarnishing, and the careful elaboration of the details emphasizes the jewelry quality. The silver-plated surface reflects the light, enhancing the visual expressiveness of the sculptural forms and adding a touch of luxury to the serving.
Each stand does more than just perform a practical function — it becomes a miniature sculpture on the table. Thanks to the well-thought-out design, knives or chopsticks are securely fixed: the stable base prevents slipping, and the shape of the holder takes into account the ergonomics of cutlery.
