A decorative collection of fourteen knife rests of varying designs from early 20th century, including examples with ball-ended cross supports, plain X-form terminals and ring-turned details. The differing patterns suggest the group was assembled over time rather than conceived as a single service. Several variations in proportion, construction and decoration are represented, giving the group an attractive collected character. In good antique condition overall, with surface wear, light scratches, tarnishing and minor irregularities consistent with age and use.
