{"product_id":"vintage-art-deco-silverplate-dachshund-knife-rest-pair","title":"Vintage Art Deco Silverplate Dachshund Knife Rest - Pair","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA pair of dachshund knife rests in silverplate, each one a stretched-out dog with long drooping ears and a flat bar for a tail. They were made to hold a knife or fork off the cloth between courses. The streamlined look is 1920s and 30s, though this form was made for decades, so I'm going on style. They also work as chopstick rests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 3.5 in. W x 0.75 in. H x 0.5 in.
