This set of 5 knife rests, crafted by France's renowned silversmith Christofle, features the Chrysanthème (Chrysanthemum) design. Created around 1900, this model exemplifies the Art Nouveau style that flourished in the early 20th century. The knife rests are characterized by their arabesque shapes and naturalistic chrysanthemum decorations, a hallmark of this artistic movement.
Art Nouveau remains highly popular to this day, making this set an exceptionally rare and collectible item.
