Description from the seller
Set of 12 cream onyx Knife Rests – France, 1970s
Elegant set of 12 with box
parallelepiped knife rests in creamy hand carved onyx / travertin dating from the 1970s, made in France. Each piece is carved from warm-toned cream onyx with natural veining, offering a look that is both raw and sophisticated. The clean, geometric shape embodies the modernist aesthetic of the era. A refined detail for a minimalist table setting or a vintage accent in a contemporary decor. In perfect condition, no chips, cracks, or repairs. Rare to find a full set in such pristine state. Each knife rest measures 82 mm x 18 mm x 18 mm (approx. 2.83" x 0.71" x 0.71"). An exquisite piece for collectors and design enthusiasts with a taste for natural stone and timeless elegance.
