The Limoges porcelain dinner plate in the Malmaison pattern has a brightly gilded frieze around the rim and is the perfect size for main courses. 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.
