FAQs

Knife rests became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries during formal multi-course dinners to prevent carving knives and eating utensils from soiling the tablecloth between courses.

They were commonly manufactured from sterling silver, silverplate, porcelain, glass, crystal, and sometimes bronze, often cast or moulded into figural and geometric shapes.

Authenticity is typically verified through makers marks, hallmarks or EPNS (Electro Plated Nickel Silver) stamps, alongside natural tarnish patterns and manufacturing techniques consistent with the early 20th century.

They can be placed neatly beside each place setting on a dining table or displayed on a sideboard as a conversational decorative element during dinner parties.

Silverplated items should be washed gently in warm soapy water, dried thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polished periodically with a non-abrasive silver cream to prevent excessive oxidisation.
