Set of 6 different animal fish and bird knife rests, made and signed by Gallia, a section of Christofle, France. Made circa 1920's - 30's in silver plate.
Each measures between 3 1/4 to 4 1/2inches long.
Fabulous geometric, stylised design by sculptor-designer Marcel Edouard SANDOZ. Strong lines and elegant simplicity. Each animal individually cast.
Animals include a bear, swordfish, dog, cat, dove and duck.
Each animal has the Christofle Gallia impressed mark. (originals and not fakes / copies).
Good condition with a tiny nick on the bear's back and all can do with a clean. <P><P>From Google:
Created in the late 1920's for "Christofle's Gallia" line for use in the First Class dining room of the S.S. Normandie Ocean Liner. Having the Gallia Mark or Hallmark, which was reserved for the more Avant Garde design range of Christofle, this set is even more desirable. A single Animal just sold for $150
