Edwardian Sterling Silver Card Tray by Robert Pringle & Sons, London 1904

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A finely worked Edwardian sterling silver card tray by Robert Pringle & Sons, hallmarked in London in 1904. Of good weight and quality, the tray is made in a classic shaped form with a gently scalloped outline and a well-defined raised border, giving it both presence and practicality.

The surface is richly decorated in the Rococo Revival taste, with deeply chased scrolling acanthus, shell motifs and floral sprays arranged around a central cartouche. The finely textured ground creates a strong visual contrast with the polished raised decoration, while the crispness of the chasing and border suggest a higher-grade example rather than routine commercial production.

The interior retains a bright silver finish, while the exterior displays a soft, even patina consistent with careful use and age. Equally suitable as a card tray, small serving tray or decorative display piece, it combines practicality with strong decorative appeal.

Robert Pringle & Sons was one of the leading British silver manufacturers of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, and this tray is a fine example of the firm's quality output at the beginning of the 20th century.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

During the Edwardian era, silver card trays were placed in the entrance hall or foyer to receive visiting cards presented by guests upon arrival.

These pieces were crafted from sterling silver (925 purity) and frequently feature relief motifs produced through repousse hammering, chasing, and border moulding.

Authentic British sterling silver displays a complete set of hallmarks: the lion passant for silver purity, an assay office symbol such as the London leopard head, a date letter, and a makers mark.

An antique silver tray functions effectively on an entryway console table for keys, on a bedroom dressing table for fine jewellery, or on a desk to organize small stationery items.

Clean the surface gently using a soft cotton cloth and a specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive chemicals or submerged washings that might strip delicate chased detailing or alter the natural tarnish in the recessed areas.
