Posted by admin On July 19, 2024
These are the very early Griffes Antique pattern knife rests with the ball and claw feet. There are 4 good ones as shown, and one that is without a foot as shown, but still functions as a knife rest. Height 4.2 cms. Length 7.5 cms. Impressed “Christofle” inside a thin rectangular shape with an impressed square with lozenge/diamond shape with a pair of scales and “G”&”C” on either side of the scales. These are a very early marks and can be seen with a loup and watch repair glasses. These test for silver using acid test showing red. So they all add up. When parcels are heavy and or bulky I use Parcel Force international World wide. Contact me to find out likely cost before point of sale. I do not provide invoices.
