Large 20th Century Hotel Meurice Serving Tray
- H: 2.5 cm (1")
- W: 61.5 cm (24 3/16")
- D: 28 cm (12")
Beautiful large 20th Century French silverplate serving tray from the renowned 'Hotel Meurice, Paris'.
It bears the Hotel Motto of a Greyhound, Crown, and Sword. Over the years, Le Meurice has often been referred to as ‘Hotel des Rois’ (Hotel of Kings), due to its many royal guests.
In 1855, HM Queen Victoria stayed there on her official state visit to Paris, and, in her honor, the entire first floor was renovated. In 1898, the hotel’s new owner Arthur Million began a major expansion and renovation project. The builders took in a stray greyhound dog which was adopted by the hotel staff and went on to become the hotel's mascot and emblem.
Stamped with the makers mark Ercuis.
A fabulous decorative and useful piece, full of atmosphere and history. Some expected wear, commensurate with age and use.
