A delightful and characterful set of Art Deco French knife rests, each modelled in the form of a sleek standing cat. Unlike the more conventional animal-form rests, these charming examples feature the cats with their heads turned inquisitively to the side, adding a subtle touch of French humour and individuality to the design. The streamlined bodies and gentle curves reflect the elegance of the Art Deco period, while the polished silver plate enhances their sculptural presence on the table. Both decorative and functional, they bring personality to any setting. Condition: Immaculate, with no deterioration, damage or losses. Dimensions approx.: 7cm long x 4cm high x 2cm wide (slight variation between examples). Origin: France, circa 1930. A rare and engaging set, combining classic Art Deco styling with a playful twist, and among the finest of their type.
