The silver plated cheese knife in the Malmaison pattern also has two teeth at the end to pick cheese off of a cheese plate.... One of Christofle's most historic patterns, Malmaison exemplifies 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.
