Val Saint Lambert - Knife rest (12) - Crystal - New! Art Deco

Rare Vintage Set of 12 Val Saint Lambert Crystal Knife Rests in Original Abdulla "Dribaccy" Box – Pristine Condition
Description:
Offered here is an exceptionally rare piece of interwar tobacconiana and luxury tableware history: a complete, pristine set of twelve (12) vintage molded crystal knife rests, preserved entirely in their original, branded presentation box.
The top lid of the box is missing 2 sides. While Abdulla & Co. Ltd. (London) is universally famous for its early 20th-century luxury cigarettes, this specific set features original packaging explicitly branded for their rare "Abdulla Dribaccy Pipe Patent" line—a specialized moisture-control pipe and tobacco system heavily marketed during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. High-end tobacconists often supplied these luxury household items to premium clients as exclusive promotional gifts.
The knife rests themselves are beautifully crafted, boasting sleek geometric central bars flanked by frosted, stylized floral block ends. This distinctive design and high-quality glass execution strongly attribute the manufacturing to the renowned Belgian crystal works of Val Saint Lambert, who famously produced Abdulla's premium promotional glassware during this era.
Finding a single vintage crystal knife rest intact is difficult, but a complete set of 12, remaining unused in its original commercial box for nearly a century, is an absolute museum-quality scarcity.
