Set of Ten French Glass Knife Rests - 5"

This set of ten glass knife rests features an elegant optical illusion design, creating a sense of movement and instability through its twisted form. Made from clear glass, each piece catches and refracts light beautifully, adding a refined touch to any table setting. The classic shape, with rounded ends and a sculptural central section, ensures both stability and visual appeal.

Knife rests became popular in European dining culture during the 19th century, particularly in France, where refined table etiquette was highly valued. They were designed to prevent blades from staining the tablecloth between courses, embodying both practicality and sophistication. Glass versions, like these, gained popularity for their ability to complement a variety of tableware styles, from traditional porcelain to modern minimalism.

Perfect for both formal and casual gatherings, these knife rests can enhance any tablescape with their subtle elegance. Pair them with vintage silverware for a timeless setting, or combine them with contemporary dishes for a striking contrast. Their optical illusion-inspired design also adds a dynamic visual effect, making them a conversation-worthy detail on any dining table.
