Product description
This is an antique French serving instrument, traditionally known as a 'manche à gigot' or leg of lamb holder. The object is designed to securely hold a leg of lamb or turkey leg during carving, making it a functional and historically interesting piece for the set table.
The instrument is crafted from metal, likely silver-plated, and features a horn handle. The construction displays a clamping mechanism with a decorative wrench to secure the meat. The handle has a smooth, polished finish in natural brown tones, finished with a detailed metal ring. The set is presented in the original, green-lined box with a red velvet interior.
The leg of lamb holder is in good condition befitting its age and previous use. The metal has developed an authentic patina and the original box has been preserved, contributing to the completeness of this set.
This serving instrument is a refined addition to a classic dining room or a collection of antique table silver. It comes into its own particularly well during formal dinners or as a decorative conversation piece in a display cabinet.
