{6691 Filets - 10 Antique French Christofle Knife Rests}


A very rare antique set of 10 Christofle knife rests in the 6691 'Filets' pattern from an antique catalog of 1883 - 1891. They are not even available at Replacements Ltd. at present.
'Prestigious commissions from royalty and heads of state, including King Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III, and the supply of silver for grand hotels, ocean liners, trains and airlines bear witness to the house's success and reputation. The most respected French and European museums have pieces by Christofle in their permanent collections'. From the Christofle Heritage.

So, if you cannot vacation on such a luxury ocean liner, or on the Orient Express nor stay at grand hotels; there is still a chance for creating that romantic touch inside your own home! Just click to go to my Zen Cart powered on line boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics.  hall mark and further info, scroll down.
This Table Setting is with the blue plates from Société Céramique Maestricht, in the Boerenhoeve pattern. Of course Boerenhoeve is Dutch for Farmstead and this is transfer ware from the 1930s.
Plate Chargers are Pillivuyt in the Sancerre pattern, available at Replacements Ltd. The Flatware is by Gero Zilmeta 528 Menuet. Napkin in ton-sur-ton is by Le Jacquard Français.
This is how the knives from first course and main course are rested upon this knife rest...
Cutting edge of knives, always facing towards the plate!
9 out of 10 do have this antique Christofle hall mark with CC two scales, 4 stars above and bee below with a kind of palm branches.
1 out of 10 has this newer hall mark from after 1935
To the left you see the item number 6691 'Filets' from the second Christofle Catalog.
Sorry Sold out...
There are a few others left for sale at Spectrenoir.

  9. Hello Mariette,
    Thank you for your comment.
    The new mums stay for about three to four days if everything goes well.
    These are private rooms and she wants to look her best when receiving guests to welcome the new baby.
    There are so many different traditions here and I enjoy finding out new ones, some ladies do change everything in the room.


    Lands wijs, lands eer... ik woon hier nu voor dertig jaar en kijk nergens meer raar van op.


    Groetjes,

    Hugs,
    Angela.

  10. Hi mariette, It is a delight to find somebody on the internet who shares my love for all these little Knife rests. I was doing some research on a number of Christofle Filet, Knife rests and stumbled upon your blog.
    I am original Dutch Lived in the Netherlands most of my life. This page with the Société Céramique Maestrich plates and the Christofle Knife rests is so pretty. I am very pleased to see those items are appreciated all over the world. I thank you for your blog and in making me more knowledgeable about this.
