A refined pair of vintage silverplate knife rests by Elkington, the celebrated English silversmith known for pioneering electroplated silver in the 19th century. Elkington & Co. supplied fine tableware to Victorian households and even held Royal Warrants, making their pieces highly respected among collectors of English silverplate.
This elegant pair features a classic minimalist design with gently curved feet and a central bar to elevate knives from the tablecloth between courses. Knife rests were a staple of formal dining in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, helping keep table linens clean while adding a polished look to the place setting.
Their clean lines make them easy to pair with both traditional and modern table settings, especially when styling antique silver flatware or a formal dinner table.
