The history of figurative artistic metal knife rests dates back to the 19th century in Europe, before enjoying immense popular success in the mid-20th century thanks to the creations of renowned silversmiths such as Christofle or Sandoz. Originally designed to protect precious tablecloths from juice stains, these utilitarian accessories quickly became true little table jewels and symbols of the French art of living. This model, highlighting forest wildlife, fully follows in the wake of classical animal art and harmonizes wonderfully with the Cottagecore decorative trend, the country-house style, or a chic rustic Christmas ambiance. Placed beside each plate, they are sure to charm your guests and bring a memorable touch of character to your receptions.
