Silver-Plated Set of 2 Knife Rests Pelican/Swan
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 pelican and a swan, 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.
Christofle buys the patents for silver plating and gilding by electrolysis which gave birth to silver metal in France. He becomes a goldsmith.
