FAQs

A silver salver is a flat tray traditionally used in formal households to present letters, visiting cards, or beverages to guests. Originating in the seventeenth century, the term derives from the Latin salva, referencing the practice of testing food or drink for safety before serving.

Late Victorian salvers were wrought from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Craftsmen cast or chased ornate decorative borders, such as shell and scroll patterns, onto a flat-planished or polished circular base.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a makers mark, town mark such as the London leopards head, purity mark, and date letter. Late nineteenth-century examples often exhibit Rococo Revival shell motifs paired with precise hallmark stampings.

Position the salver on a sideboard or console table to organize decanters, glassware, or candles, reflecting light across its polished surface. It can also function as a structured tray for keys and desk accessories.

Clean regularly using a soft, non-abrasive cotton cloth and a gentle silver polish formulated to remove oxidisation without eroding detailed hallmarking. Store in an anti-tarnish cloth or sleeve when not on display to minimize exposure to air compounds.
