Christofle Gallia Knife Rests (Collector's Item)

Set of 12 Christofle Gallia knife rests, in their original packaging. A true collector’s item! 

Gallia was Christofle’s iconic early-20th-century line created to celebrate the beauty of artistic metalwork at a more accessible level than sterling silver. Introduced around 1900, Gallia pieces were crafted in high-quality silverplate using innovative alloys, and often featured imaginative, decorative designs that reflected the spirit of the French Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements.

These Gallia animal knife rests are among the most beloved pieces from this era—miniature sculptures that showcase Christofle’s extraordinary craftsmanship, playfulness, and attention to detail. Because Gallia was produced in limited periods and many designs were never reissued, these knife rests are now considered highly collectible. Each piece carries the legacy of Christofle’s artistic experimentation and stands as a small but significant example of French decorative arts history.
