Vintage French Knife Rests – Ducks ‘Porte Couteau’ (Set of 6) – Dark Patina
An elegant and charming set of vintage French knife rests, known as porte couteaux, featuring six finely detailed duck designs. Both decorative and practical, knife rests have long been used to keep cutlery elevated between courses, helping to protect table surfaces and tablecloths from marks.
This distinctive set displays a dark silver-toned patina, adding depth and character that reflects their age. Each duck includes a small slot at the tail, originally intended for a name or place card, making them ideal for formal dining or special occasions.
The metal composition is unknown. The set is offered in original condition as shown in the photographs and is sold as a complete, non-repeatable set.
