This early 20th century English silver-plated serving tray is a refined example of the exceptional craftsmanship produced by English silversmiths during the period. Made in England in the early to mid-20th century, the tray presents an elegant oval-rectangular form and displays meticulous attention to decorative detail throughout its design. The interior surface is finely engraved with an intricate floral motif, executed with precision and demonstrating the high level of engraving skill associated with traditional English metalwork.
The raised gallery border is equally detailed, featuring engraved wreath and foliate ornamentation that frames the tray with a sense of classical refinement. This elevated edge not only enhances the decorative presence of the piece but also reflects its original functional intent within fine barware and table service. The tray is supported by four sculpted paw feet, each carefully cast to provide both stability and an additional decorative element that complements the overall composition.
The underside bears the maker’s mark, confirming its authenticity and production quality. Measuring 16 inches in diameter and 3 inches in height, the tray offers substantial scale without sacrificing its graceful proportions. It is in excellent condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, and remains versatile—suitable for serving, barware presentation, or as an elegant centerpiece on a sideboard or table.
