This extraordinary antique silver plate meat carving trolley is arguably the most magnificent M.S. Rau Antiques has had the pleasure to own. Created by Christofle & Cie, prestigious producers of high-quality objects for more than 150 years, the antique trolley makes an impressive entrance thanks to an elegant oval lid measuring over 31/2 feet wide. Engraved with a superb olive branch wreath, the lid lifts to reveal a substantial carving platter, complete with a removable cutting surface anchored to a water tank, as well as two sauce basins, an au jus receptacle, a collapsible trivet tray and burners. Exhibiting an exceptional size and superior design, his trolley is an absolute tour de force.
