Found in an old house in France....
Some sort of multi purpose bottle opener?
Looks a bit like a door handle although scale is hard to tell.
some kind of scale for context would help. I wonder if some sort of tin opener (paint tin type)?
Got to be for lifting something. Detachable saucepan handle?
Looking at the finishing I don't think it's particularly old.
circular table?
After my journey to finding a bizarrely obscure stopcock key I'd say it is one of them.
A doofer for lifting the ash can out of a wood-burning stove?
Oh and 12 of them were found in the same location
The hexagon patterns in the wood are around the size of a coaster if that helps
Super heavy duty curtain hook
Some sort of a modular bracket for a wireframe based shelf?
Daddy tool and Mummy tool in the process of making lots of baby tools?

Not really. There's only cubes.
I'd guess a window handle of some sort.

It's a confiture jar seal
It's a spurlash.
Marital aid.
Possibly a manhole lifter-upperer?
Anal Bead remover.
Candle holders?
Repose couteau - French custom is to keep your cutlery between courses, so you rest your knife on it when the plates are cleared and it stops you getting the table dirty.

Escargot holders monsieur

Double entendre or mis-translation?
It’s probably a tool for something campagnolo😂
Tbh, I’m with db on the candleholder.
I don’t think it’s a baby Robin.
Just tried Google Lens, got lots of blacksmith tools, dentists tools, even a nasal speculum!
Nothing that actually resembles that object. I’m wondering if it’s some sort of tile spacer, or for wood siding or similar?
No clue, otherwise. 🤷🏼♂️
On second thoughts, it looks like a crafty way to seat tubeless tyres.
Looks like, as mentioned, a knife rest. Porte couteaux … ‘specially as there’s a dozen of them 😁
If a knife rester is it orientated the right way in the photo?

It would seem odd to mount them on the wall bedside the table. I can't see how it's fixed though so guess it's the photo that's wrong way up.
I'm guessing the little round recess should take a salt pot or similar.
