Exquisite Vintage Christofle Silver-plated Mahogany Dessert Cart
$9,800List Price
About the Item
This late 1930's dessert serving trolley is finished in heavy silver plate with two elevated glass shelves, and two lower wooden shelves, as well. It has a Honduran mahogany body that is supported on four commercial rubber swiveling wheels. It was in all likelihood supplied to one of the leading restaurants in Paris, such as "Maxims," or another similar high-end dining establishment. The upper echelon eateries in Paris were always known for their sumptuous decor and silver accouterments, with this fine server certainly fitting into that classification. The silver-plate is original and the woodwork has recently been restored. Overall this is a superb example of hallmarked Christofle-Bouilhet work. It carries an engraved signature plate on each end with the name "Orfevrerie (Silversmiths), Christofle. Paris." The general condition is extremely fine, with the natural stress marks on the metalwork, woodwork, and glass that one would expect for the trolley's age and usage. A brand new comparable cart is in excess of $40,000.
