This early 20th century English Sheffield silver-plated serving tray presents a refined geometric hexagonal form, characteristic of the period’s evolving design sensibilities. Made in England in the early to mid-20th century, the tray showcases an exquisitely engraved interior, featuring detailed decorative work that reflects the precision and artistry long associated with Sheffield silversmiths. The low gallery border is subtly shaped and finely finished, framing the tray while maintaining a clean, understated profile that complements its angular silhouette.
The piece rests on four small paw feet, each cast with careful attention to detail, providing both stability and a gentle decorative flourish at the corners. The underside bears the maker’s mark, affirming its authenticity and quality of manufacture. Measuring 16 inches by 16 inches and standing 2 inches high, the tray offers generous scale suitable for barware service, table presentation, or display. It remains in excellent condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, and retains the refined elegance and craftsmanship for which English silver plate is celebrated.
