A charming and unusual set of six French Art Deco knife rests, each beautifully modelled as a stylised squirrel with an elegantly arched tail forming the functional support. The design captures the playful spirit of the period while maintaining the clean, sculptural lines characteristic of Art Deco. Cast with finely detailed fur texture and expressive form, each squirrel sits upright with a sense of alertness, while the sweeping tail provides both balance and visual rhythm when arranged as a set. The warm metallic finish enhances the depth of the casting, catching the light across the textured surfaces and emphasising the craftsmanship. Equally suited to a refined table setting or as decorative objects in their own right, these knife rests offer a rare combination of functionality and whimsical design.
