ABOUT PRODUCTID 20649
This set of four figural knife rests from the Art Deco period (1920s–1930s) is crafted from plated white brass. Each piece features a different stylized animal silhouette: a fox, a dog, a cat, and a dachshund. The surfaces are finished in a cool, silvery white with a subtle, satin matte sheen, characteristic of the era’s refined metalwork. The animals’ forms are rendered in a minimalist, linear style with geometric contours and simplified anatomical details, reflecting the period’s fascination with abstraction and modernity. Flat, rectangular bases provide stability and emphasize the clean, visual line. The craftsmanship is precise, with smooth surfaces, sharply cut edges, and seamless joins with no visible solder marks. The set is preserved in very good condition, free from tarnish, damage, or significant signs of wear.These small objects echo the voice of an era when modernity was embraced in every detail—even in table settings. The animal figures, captured in geometric outlines, narrate a time when functional art was expected to be both practical and avant-garde. The understated gleam of white brass quietly references the salons of interwar Europe, where even the simplest meal became a subtle ceremony. Each knife rest tells its own restrained story—about simplicity that remains refined.The knife rests could be paired with classic white porcelain or 1920s glassware to highlight their geometric lines and cool tone. They would also suit collector’s interiors, combined with other Art Deco pieces: silver cutlery, crystal decanters, or minimalist napkin rings. It is worth combining them with textiles in simple patterns or solid colors to draw out their bold yet subdued form. In spaces inspired by modernism, they would serve as a discreet accent, expressing the interwar spirit without excess.
