Description from the seller

Elegant and highly decorative set of six Art Deco animal knife rests produced by Gallia, the renowned French silver-plated line of Christofle.

Each knife rest is finely cast in silver-plated metal and depicts a different stylized animal in the distinctive Art Deco aesthetic of the 1920s–1930s. The sleek, geometric forms are characteristic of French decorative arts of the period and are closely associated with the Gallia production.

All six pieces bear the GALLIA hallmark together with the Gallia quality punch.

The set includes:

Wild boar
Fox
Lion
Panther (or large feline)
Hounds

A beautiful and collectible ensemble suitable for both use and display.
