{6694 Filets & Rubans - 6 Antique French Christofle Louis XVI Knife Rests}

Here I once again can offer you some very rare, 2nd half of 19th century antique French Christofle knife rests. These are in the 6694 Filets & Ruban, Louis XVI pattern and look absolutely stunning. Shown here with my French Le Jacquard Français placemats and napkins. China is Seltmann Weiden in the Mirabell pattern from Germany. The flatware is Gero Zilmeta 528 Menuet.

  • The individual place setting picture frame vase you can see in my post from 2 days ago.

  • Christofle still is selling knife rests as of today. Click Christofle and put knife rests in the search box. They are still very much en Vogue.

  • On January 24, I did set the table on our balcony in the sunshine...

  • Pictures speak for themselves...


Christofle mark from the 2nd half of the 19th century.


Detail from my 1862 Sugar Sifter Spoon with the very same hall mark but now more visible.


6694 Louis XVI Filets et rubans...


Highlighted is the Christofle 6694 to the left...


These are inside the 1883-1891 Christofle Catalogue

  • 24 pieces are sold here for US $ 800.00
Sorry Sold out...

Small Masterpiece - [We Set The Table] ←click it, is also showing Christofle knife rests. Just click on  the word Collection and scroll down for it.

Private Client (David Lauren and Lauren Bush) were even shown on their listing of Small Masterpiece clients.

Hope you enjoyed this journey back in time for style and elegance.
Those pieces do become heirlooms for many more decades as they are of superior quality.

  2. Mariette...you know my friend...these knife rests are so gorgeous. Years ago when I owned an antique shop the lady next to me sold some of the most exquisite silver pieces. She gave me a few that I treasure today....

    Love that sweet yellow rose, too!

  9. Hello Mariette, these are beautiful knife rests ~ your photos are lovely :) I took your advice, and have used a darker pink for the words, to make it more easier to read my blog ~ I appreciate the input! I also "tweaked" my header, and added a couple more pics I wanted in it, and like it much better :)

    Have a lovely day!!

    Warmest hugs, Brenda
