A Rare set of 6 French Art Deco Double Swan Knife Rests

A superb and uncommon set of six Art Deco knife rests, beautifully cast in bronze-toned metal and modelled as elegant long-bodied hunting dogs with stylised, streamlined forms typical of the 1930s. Each rest features finely carved details including textured feathered tails, long tapering bodies, and characterful heads with sculpted ears. These rests are wonderfully decorative and exceptionally functional—perfect for adding refinement to a dining table while protecting linens and creating a striking sculptural display when not in use. The angular legs and elongated bodies reflect the bold geometric influence of the period, making them ideal for collectors of Art Deco metalwork or unique tableware. All six are in excellent condition with a soft, aged patina enhancing their charm. A complete matched set of this quality is increasingly difficult to find.
