With these six knife rests created in 1928, Christofle explores the animal world through the lens of Art Deco, the artistic movement then emerging in France and across Europe. Characterized by its emphasis on geometric and symmetrical forms, Art Deco lends itself beautifully to this poetic interpretation.
Originally part of a collection of twelve pieces, these knife rests depict six animals arranged in pairs: a dog and a cat, a peacock and a dove, a swan and a pelican.
With their elongated, angular silhouettes, the figures evoke each animal and its distinctive posture through a refined economy of detail and a strikingly pared-back aesthetic.
