Dating to circa 1925, the set was designed by Pierre Devouge and each piece is marked with his PD maker's mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twelve activities represented are motor racing, motorbike racing, horse racing, boxing, wrestling, ice hockey, rugby, dance, swimming and diving, ice skating, bowling and curling, and hurdles, giving the set a genuinely encyclopedic sweep of 1920s athletic life. Each figure is rendered with the streamlined, dynamic silhouettes characteristic of French Art Deco design, capturing motion and energy within a compact tabletop form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach rest measures approximately 4 inches long, 2 inches high, and 1 inch wide, and the full set has a combined weight of 1066 grams, giving real substance to each individual piece. It is unusual to find a complete set of twelve surviving together, which adds considerably to its appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA striking set for display on its own or in use at the table, this would make an exceptional find for a dedicated knife rest collector, a collector of French Art Deco silver, or a gift for anyone with a passion for classic sport and motor racing history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectors Gene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50363679572106,"sku":"CG-SRV-00401","price":1340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/French_Silver_Plate_Sporting_Knife_Rests_by_Pierre_Devouge_Set_of_Twelve_2.jpg?v=1792627955","url":"https:\/\/cameronsteiner.com\/products\/french-silver-plate-sporting-knife-rests-by-pierre-devouge-set-of-twelve","provider":"Cameron Steiner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
