The silver plated fish serving knife in the Malmaison pattern with openwork details on the blade can be used in conjunction with a fish serving fork to serve fish. 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.
