    Dimensions: H 3.5 x W 9.5 cm

    Knife rests appeared in Europe in the 19th century, at a time when dining etiquette became particularly strict and clean tablecloths were important. Their primary function was to protect the tablecloth from food or sauce stains left by knife blades placed directly on the table. Originally, they were reserved for bourgeois and aristocratic tables before gradually becoming more widespread.
    Today, knife rests are experiencing a resurgence of interest, driven by the revival of tableware and the search for refined details in meal decorations. They are once again perceived as chic and practical accessories, demonstrating particular attention to aesthetics and table cleanliness.
