Stand for table knives

Museum-Reserve of A.S Pushkin

Museum-Reserve of A.S Pushkin
Russia

Stand for table knives in the shape of two oak trees, with a bridge between them. The trees are on the sides and are leaning away from the center. There are acorns on a few branches. At the bottom and top of the crowns of the trees, there are two horizontal, slightly curved crossbars with twelve cut transverse holes for utensils.
The upper crossbar is wider than the bottom, with larger apertures, and is bent in an arch, at the top of which a tall handle is mounted. It has the form of a diamond, branches, and a pentagon. The stand has a black base shaped like a hill of earth, with relief roots, bushes of grass, leaves, and flowers; and on the edge, curls of leaves and roots, forming stylized feet. On the base of the front foot is an oval stamp:
“Plewkiewicz / w / Warszawie”.
