Antique English Art Nouveau Silver Plated Knife Rests

Antiques : Silver Plate Or Silverplate

 

This wonderful and most unusual boxed set of knife rests are so Art Nouveau, almost figural in the form of dragonflies and very organic.

They are certainly a high quality set with well engineered plated screws on the underside to take apart each knife rest for cleaning.

Once dismantled, it is clearer to see the British makers mark H & S and EP for Electo-plated.

Dating to around 1890 or 1900, late Victorian in period, they remain in excellent condition with some wear to the plate; the buyer could leave this wonderful original patina or have re-plated if desired.

They complete with their original silk and velvet lined box in very good condition with the closure working perfectly, the box measures 7" x 5" x 2".

Each knife rest measures 4" in length.
