Spoon rests were used in well-run households in 18th and 19th centuries. Good manners dictated that once you've used a utensil and it's dirty, it shouldn't be placed back on the table. (After all, most tables were covered with a white table cloth) Modern spoon rests came about in the late 17th or early 18th century, but they originally can be tied to the times of Henry VIII.
