Set of Seven French Modernist Gilded Animal Knife Rests

Whimsical yet elegant circa 1940s animal knife rests (likely French, given their provenance) including two dogs, two rams, two rabbits, and one cat (seven in total). Composed of gilt-metal with lovely patina / wear consistent with age and use, as shown. Overall, the set is in good, vintage condition.
