Description from the seller

Antique duck press, also called presse canard. This culinary tool was used to press the juices from duck carcasses for making sauces. The press was invented in the 19th century by the French chef Mechenet. It became popular in the restaurant La Tour d'Argent where the dish Caneton de Roue à la Presse was prepared for guests at the table. The pressed juices from bone marrow and blood contributed to the unique flavor in the sauce. The press is still in good and functional condition.
