This is a wonderfully ornate antique knife rest from England made 1880-1900 in a floral design with squashed Greek key feet and a lovely raditional husk design.

The knife rest measures 1.5 inches high by 3 inches long by 2 inches wide and is silver plate and in excellent used vintage condition. A beautiful piece.

Knife rests were, and still are, and are used to keep your dinner knife off the tablecloth and are also decrative table items and very collectible in their own right. A great conversation starter too!
