Description
From the dining tables of la belle époque to your own, this magnificent set of twelve French knife rests is a study in elegance and charm. Each rest — shaped as a poised little poodle — is finished in a deep burgundy glaze that catches the light like fine porcelain wine.
Dating from the 1950s and originating in Roubaix, France, this exquisite set reflects the mid-century French love of playful yet refined table art. Housed in its original satin-lined presentation case, it remains in remarkable, mint condition — a rare survival of both beauty and utility. Inside the lid, a gleaming brass plaque bears the name A. Soetens-Duyck, Roubaix, a mark of craftsmanship and heritage from northern France.
A true collector’s piece — equally at home on a holiday table, in a glass cabinet, or as a gift for the devoted Francophile who delights in the details.
