Silver-plated Set of 2 Knife Rests Peacock and Dove
Order by phone, Monday to Friday from 10 a.m to 6 p.m.
Originally from a collection of twelve pieces, this set features two animals with stylized and elongated lines: a dove and a peacock, through the vision of an artist, Eugene Volynkine, a sculptor of Ukrainian origin lived in Paris. Known for his very angular animal representations, he exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in 1928.
Having become famous, Maison Christofle was solicited by foreign sovereigns such as Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, the Tsar of Russia, Germany of the Kaiser, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Sultan Abdulaziz of the Ottoman Empire.
