Vintage French Silverplate Knife Rests - Set of 10

From a Parisian silver market, we are so pleased to offer this Set of 10 Vintage French Silverplate Knife Rests, certain to bring a little Continental elegance to dinner. Fashioned in a wonderfully architectural faux-bamboo design, each diminutive rest stands on four splayed legs joined by a slender horizontal bar, its carefully incised details mimicking the jointed nodes of natural bamboo. The gleaming silverplate gives the playful design an elegant finish.

A fixture of well-appointed European tables, knife rests were designed to provide a tidy perch for a diner’s knife between courses, protecting table linens from soiled blades while allowing the same knife to remain in service throughout the meal. Stamped “SFAM” for French maker Société Française d’Alliage de Métaux, this matching set of ten is ready to return to the table—equally charming for an intimate supper or a grand dinner party.

Strictly one of a kind. Each knife rest measures: 3 1/4" L x 1 3/8"W x 1 5/8"H
