They are Art Deco  and lovely stylised frosted birds......I would love any help to find out who made them please.
Bought from France, and I think they may well be French......over to the EXPERTS!!

I can't help, Rosie.
There was a chap who lived beside my Dad who collected knife rests, I was treated to a viewing of his collection and I found some interesting Australian ones for him, but he didn't have a clue who made any of them - no markings and no known (to George anyway) ways of finding out.

It's worth an email to ask what they think...

Thank you for that Anne,  I have emailed them and am awaiting a reply......
My pictures are rubbish, these are so beautiful (IMHO).
If only they had been signed.  :thud:
