Add a touch of untamed elegance to your tablescape with this striking pair of antique pewter leaping rabbit knife rests. Captured mid-bound, the sleek, elongated form of these hares brings a dynamic yet refined energy perfectly suited for a moody vintage dining experience or as sculptural accents in a curated Dark Academia study. Originating from Germany in the early 20th century, these distinctive rests are strongly attributed to the renowned Art Nouveau metalwork house Kayserzinn (circa 1900–1904, catalog model 4488), reflecting the period's deep fascination with naturalistic motifs. Cast in substantial pewter with a beautifully oxidized patina, they evoke the traditional charm of an English Hunt Country estate and carry the sophisticated, storied warmth characteristic of Ralph Lauren-inspired interiors. The fluid lines and aged character of the metal are captured from multiple angles in the provided gallery. Whether gracing a festive holiday table or serving as paperweights on a leather-topped desk, these classic porte-couteaux beautifully marry practical function with rich, historical character.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.
SHIPPING As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.
PHOTOGRAPHY All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
