Figural Silverplate Pheasant Bird Knife Rest

Silver : Silverplate

 

This wonderful piece is a figural silverplate knife rest with two pheasants, one on each end of the rest with the rod for the knife crossing the top of the tail portion of the birds. The pheasants have great detail showing great workmanship right down to the feathers. The knife measures approximately 4 inches in length and 1 1/2 inches in height. This piece is in very good condition, although there is some loss of plate on the knife rest portion with minor scratches on the rod from use. There is no makers mark found on the rest. While some of the more splendid pieces in sterling silver carry a factory mark, seldom are marks found on these excellent Victorian silverplated pieces. We have not polished the piece since the patina on this is wonderful the way it is. A great piece for the knife-rest or kitchen accessory collector!
