This Art Deco cocktail tray dates to 1930 and takes an octagonal silver-plated form made from electro-plated nickel silver. The polished mirror surface reflects light while the raised border displays a continuous Celtic knotwork pattern with beaded detailing along the rim, and four original feet support the base. Hallmarks for Roberts and Dore Ltd and EPNS appear on the underside. Measuring 2.5 cm high, 36.8 cm wide, and 36.8 cm deep, the tray sits flat on a sideboard top. In a modern interior, this piece serves practical functions for entertaining or display. It holds glassware and decanters during gatherings in a living room, dining room, or home bar area. Alternatively, the reflective surface provides a decorative base for perfume bottles on a dressing table or candles in a hallway.

FAQs

Art Deco cocktail trays typically feature strong geometric shapes, such as octagonal or rectangular forms, paired with polished metallic finishes. Popularised in the 1920s and 1930s to complement the rise of home entertaining and cocktail culture, they often feature stylized borders, subtle motifs, and streamlined profiles.

Trays from this era were commonly manufactured using electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or chrome-plated metal base alloys. These metals allowed for high-gloss, reflective finishes while maintaining structural durability for everyday serving.

Authentic items produced by silversmiths like Roberts & Dore usually feature stamped makers marks or initials on the underside or rim. Marks often include letters indicating electroplating standards, manufacturer initials, and occasionally pattern numbers.

A silver cocktail tray can be placed on a sideboard, drinks cabinet, or coffee table to group crystal decanters and glassware together. Its reflective surface adds depth to dark wood surfaces and helps define functional zones within a living space.

Clean silver-plated surfaces using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish to prevent removing the thin layer of silver plating. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and wash only by hand using warm, soapy water before drying thoroughly.
