The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Knife rests were designed to elevate used cutlery off table linens to prevent grease marks and stains during formal multi-course dinners. Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, they were standard accessories in formal table settings.

Antique knife rests were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, silver plate, cut glass, or mother-of-pearl. Silver examples typically feature two terminal ends joined by a central crossbar, formed through casting and silversmithing techniques.

Authentic British sterling silver knife rests feature official assay hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, an assay office town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark stamped into the silver bar or terminals.

Antique silver knife rests can be incorporated into contemporary table settings to support cutlery during dinner parties, or displayed on a sideboard as decorative antique silverware accessories.

Wash silver knife rests gently in warm water with mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth. Apply a specialist silver polishing cloth or non-abrasive silver cream to remove oxidisation without damaging fine hallmarks.
