Antonin Carême - Legacy collection Chef Raymond Bosquer - 1779-1950

Indivisible patrimonial collection of 131 pieces tracing the international career of the French chef Raymond Bosquer in New York. Consisting of ancient culinary works, menus, photographs, diplomas, correspondence, distinctions and personal memories, it testifies in particular to his presidency of the Vatel Club of New York and to his ties with Joseph Donon, a disciple of Auguste Escoffier. Among the major pieces are Le Pâtissier royal parisien by Antonin Carême, the 1828 two-volume edition with documented handwritten signature, old editions of Brillat-Savarin and André Viard, a bronze by Paul Belmondo as well as silver cups bearing imperial Russian hallmarks. A rare and coherent set, offered exclusively in its entirety, intended for a collector or for an institution devoted to the history of haute gastronomie.
