An oval silver-plate foie gras service with a central knife rest bar and two sculpted swan heads at either end — a detail that places this squarely in the Art Deco period, when the swan was a recurring motif in French decorative metalwork. The tray would have held a terrine or pâté at the table, the bar keeping the serving knife in place between cuts. Tarnished to a dark pewter tone that suits it well. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: 11.5"W x 6.25"D x 2"H Show more
