Perfect for diner for two, these French bird shaped knife rests are very characterful, a pair of herons with diner, a frog, in their mouth!
 
Knife rests are used in French fine dining to protect the tablecloth and rests in the shape of animals were particularly popular.
 
Dating back to the 1930s, they show their age in wear to the silver plating from use over the years at many diners.
 
The rests are 4" long.
