FAQs

Knife rests became popular in European dining culture during the late 18th and 19th centuries to protect tablecloths from grease and food residue between courses.

Baccarat glass is crafted from high-purity lead crystal, often utilising moulding, cutting, and acid-etching or frosting techniques to create textural contrast.

Authentic pieces often feature acid-etched factory marks, high refractive index, crisp moulding details, and slight irregularities typical of hand-finished production.

They can be displayed functionally on a dining table to add historical interest or showcased inside glass-fronted cabinets as decorative objects of art.

Clean antique crystal gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and sudden temperature changes.
