An exceptionally rare  silvered bronze sculpture circa 1865.The scene: The Chef de Cuisine has grabbed one of the kitchen assistants by the ear after he was caught trying to abscond with a large trifle. The other kitchen assistant appears to find this extremely amusing, as he is about to put an end to a large goose with a knife that is biting the Chef de Cuisine's leg. Unbeknown to this amused youth he is about to cuffed on the back of the head by the open palm of the Chefs hand.
The bronze cast and finishing quality of this complex sculpture is second to none.  All animals; goose, chicken and rabbit are finely detailed and realistic. A sculptural main course on its own is placed on the small table behind the Chef with two large salmon and a melange of fresh produce and herbs.
