This Edwardian pair of knife rests consists of cylindrical silver bars mounted with brilliant clear cut glass ends featuring intricate diamond-patterned facets. Each rest terminates in faceted crystal finials and rests securely inside a hinged storage case lined with deep crimson velvet and trimmed with a matching braided border. Hallmarks appear on the silver barrels, though the marks remain indistinct. The objects measure 13 cm in length. These pieces suit formal dining tables, sideboards, or display cabinets in a traditional English country house interior, serving as practical table accessories during meals or as decorative decorative objects when not in use.

FAQs

Knife rests were introduced to elevate used cutlery above the table surface, preventing grease and sauce from staining fine linen tablecloths during multi-course dining.

Victorian and Edwardian knife rests were commonly crafted using sterling silver, silver plate, hand-cut lead crystal, moulded glass, mother-of-pearl, or carved ivory.

Authentic pieces frequently display silver hallmarks or maker marks stamped along the central bar or terminals, alongside natural wear and hand-faceted geometric cuts on the glass ends.

These decorative accessories can be placed on a contemporary formal dinner table setting, or displayed open inside their original presentation case upon a dining room sideboard.

Clean the glass elements using warm water and mild soap with a soft brush, while gently polishing the metal components with a silver polishing cloth to avoid harsh chemical buildup.
