The rise of Art Nouveau, focused on nature - or a stylized version of it. Subsequently, the 20th century saw an explosion of new styles, from Art Deco to Modernism.
The Gallia collection gave Christofle's master silversmiths the opportunity to experiment. Already in 1900, collaborations with extraordinary artists and designers under the name Gallia and the aegis of Christofle made the rooster a symbol of the avant-garde movement - and so it would remain for a century.
