Vintage Silver Plate Knife Rests with Ornate Cross Legs - 2 Pieces
Vintage Silver Plate Knife Rests with Ornate Cross Legs Silver Plated Cutlery Rests Electro Plated Silverware
This set of two vintage knife rests feature ornate cross legs and tapered center bars. They have a beautiful patina and natural toning. The set of cutlery rests were purchased by my grandfather when he went to England and Scotland in the late seventies. Not only are these great to use during dinner, they are also useful as brush or tool rests while painting and crafting. The rests are marked, see below for more information.
I have chosen not to clean or polish these items. I love the beauty of the aged finish and patina and will leave it up to the buyer to clean and polish.
Shipped in an acid free archival bag.
