Sandoz-christofle / Knife Rest
Artist: édouard-marcel Sandoz (1881-1971)
A set of twelve silver-plated animal knife rests, designed by Edouard-Marcel Sandoz for Gallia-Christofle in the 1930s, during the Art Deco period.
The set comprises six different animal designs, each present in two examples, for a total of twelve pieces: two polar bears, two parrots, two greyhounds, two cats, two dachshunds, and two pigs. The animals are stylized with finesse and restraint, in a decorative style emblematic of Sandoz's work and Gallia's productions between the two World Wars.
The knife rests are made of silver-plated metal. The Gallia/Christofle hallmarks are present on the underside of the pieces. The silver plating is in very good condition, without wear or loss; the layer of silver metal is intact. A simple cleaning is all that's needed.
The set is kept in its original Gallia box, itself in excellent condition.
A beautiful French tableware set, decorative and collectible, representative of the Art Deco style, sought after both for the quality of its craftsmanship and for the elegance and whimsy of its animal motifs.
