This George III sterling silver oval snuffer tray originates from the London workshop of Peter and Anne Bateman, bearing clearly stamped British hallmarks on its smooth inner base alongside a refined reeded rim. The piece displays a polished silver finish with natural tarnish marks accumulated over centuries of age, an elongated oval silhouette, and a curved edge that rises gently towards the sides. Measuring 26 cm wide, it offers a practical display surface suitable for a gentleman's library or study. In a contemporary home, this tray functions well on a sideboard top, entryway table, or mantelpiece to hold small personal items, desk accessories, or pocket contents. The understated George III styling complements traditional interiors while integrating smoothly into minimalist spaces as a decorative metal accent piece.

FAQs

Snuffer trays were designed to hold wick trimmers and candle snuffers, protecting polished wooden furniture from hot wax drippings and soot.

Most were wrought from solid sterling silver or Sheffield plate, featuring hand-hammered or cast construction with simple reeded borders or bright-cut engraving.

Genuine British George III silver features a clear set of hallmarks, including the monarchs profile duty mark, a lion passant standard mark, a date letter, a town mark, and the registered makers mark.

These versatile small trays function well as coin dishes in an entryway, desk organisers for pens, or elegant holders for modern pillar candles and matches on a mantelpiece.

Wash gently with mild soap and warm water, then polish carefully using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish to retain the natural patina without stripping the metal.
