This is a wonderful pair of antique Victorian or Edwardian era English silver plate cutlery rests or knife holders shaped like fluted Classical column with fancy flower ends like daisies or sunflowers made 1890-1910.

Each silver plated knife rests measures 4 inches long and are 1.5 inches high.

The antique cutlery rests are in excellent used vintage condition with no plate loss and are so elegant.

A great item of kitchenalia  as well as a wonderful way to keep your table cloth clean by supporting your knife. 

Knife rests are enjoying a renaissance for use on dining tables, tea tables...I have even supplied knife rests for use at sommelier tables!
