From my own collections of decades ago, 3 matching knife rests. Sometimes I combine them with another set that are similar. These are late 1800s English made fine sterling silver and carved ivory knife rests, each one perfectly crafted and preserved. You see them shown with elegant French porcelain plate and a French knife, but of course those are props and not included. You're buying 3 superb knife rests in this offering. Full measurements and the British marks are noted on the photos.
Excellent condition throughout. I find nothing to report by way of damage or loss.
IMPORTANT NOTE regarding antique tortoise shell or ivory: We are great supporters of protection for endangered species in our modern world. We never buy or sell anything 100 years or newer; we donate to anti-poaching organizations; we don't hunt; we conserve in ways that impact global warming (we're totally solar at home), knowing those measures also protect the animals in the wild today. We also recognize the vast cultural history we preserve with our care and reverence for these antique objects, and agree with CITES that objects over 100 years of age have nothing whatsoever to do with species depletion in our current world.
Our offering exceeds the age limitation of "more than 100 years of age", and is well within the exemption for CITES regulation. If imported, met the CITES regulation. This item will be handled and shipped from our Utah business, and is not available for shipment internationally, nor within the USA to California, NY, Nevada, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington if it contains ivory, sorry. Please see our small print for more details.
