A French Silver-Plated Duck Press, circa 193018 x 12-1/4 x 7-1/2 inches (45.7 x 31.1 x 19.1 cm) (base 18 x 11-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches)Inscription: Jack and Charlie's '21' (with 21 Club insignia) A French silver-plated duck press possibly Christofle but unmarked, standing on a pair of flared legs with turned details at the base. The front and back of the press are hinged opening to a removeable pot with strainer, fitted with a spout. The press is a flat disk driven by a turn screw with a wheel at the top.The Duck Press bears the insignia of the renowned 21 Club, a popular New York City staple since its days as a prohibition-era speakeasy. Established by cousins Jack Kreindler and Charlie Berns in 1930, the club's name is derived from its prime location at 21 West 52nd Street where the famous façade featured its iconic wrought iron gate and ornamental jockeys. Thanks to a hidden wine cellar and the swankiest clientele in town, the club went on to store the private wine collections of Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Mae West, and Marilyn Monroe, and even the post-prohibition collections of John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. The 21 Club enjoyed decades as the place to see and be seen by presidents, captains of industry, and celebrities until closing their doors permanently in 2020 due to New York City's shut down during the Covid Pandemic. Although American TV personality Steve Allen referenced the iconic club and restaurant in his song "This Could be the Start of Something Big" with the line, "You're lunchin' at Twenty-One and watching your diet, declining a charlotte russe, accepting a fig... this could be the start of something big," the 21 Club was celebrated for their decadent and scrumptious menu. The signature dish, the pressed duck, was a feast for the senses. After the duck was carved and its juices captured, what remained was cut into pieces and placed in the duck press, and the crank at the top turned, extracting all of the remaining juices. The ingredients were combined with butter and brandy and then flamed. The resulting sauce was poured over the sliced duck. Pressed duck is a slow meal of multiple courses, reflecting leisurely meals of a bygone era. The lot accompanied by a copy of The Iron Gate of Jack & Charlie's "21." Property from the Collection of Connie McNally, Rancho Santa Fe, California HID12701242017

Lot 419
A RARE TIBETAN-STYLE GILT AND BLACK LACQUER EWER AND COVER, DUOMUHU 18TH CENTURY The tall cylindrical body set with a slender spout to one side, with four raised bands and mounts suspending chains to form the handle, decorated in gold lacquer on a black ground with many roundels formed as blossoming branches, the flowers including orchids, chrysanthemums, lotus and prunus, the cover surmounted by a finial shaped as a crouching lion dog, 47.7cm. (2) Provenance: from the collection of the late Hubert René Joseph Georges Faure (1919-2020). Hubert Faure was the first husband of Elizabeth (Bessie) de Cuevas, who married when she was nineteen. Bessie was the daughter of Margaret Rockefeller, granddaughter of John D Rockefeller. This form of ewer is known in Chinese as a duomuhu and it is derived from the Tibetan bey lep. Bey lep literally translates as 'container for butter', but these vessels were also used to store milk, wine and milk tea in Lamaist monasteries. The shape is believed to have first appeared in China during the Yuan dynasty and, after little use in the Ming dynasty, was revived under the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722) during the Qing dynasty. His interest in Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism led to the resurgence of the duomuhu form, notably in metalwork and porcelain. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Lacquer Wares of the Qing Dynasty, p.182, no.135 for a comparable gold and purple lacquer duomuhu in the Qing Court Collection; see also pp.152-153, no.111 for a Qianlong period twin-dish decorated with comparable floral medallions in gold on a black lacquer ground
