The  Victorian kitchen in a large country house would need to be well equiped to cater for large dinner parties, as was the fashion at these times. 
 
This heavy cast iron duck press would be part of the kitchen equipment needed in a large house. The meat would be placed in the centre of the press and the wheel would be turned to lower the press until all the juices would be extracted.
 
In good workable condtion
