This Edwardian Revival serving tray dates from circa 1920 and is formed from silver-plated metal with a reflective silver finish. The long rectangular piece has a raised border richly cast with grape leaves and clusters, twin cast scroll handles at the ends, and an intricately chased floral and lattice pattern across the flat central surface. Light surface wear appears on the silver plate, consistent with age and gentle use. Measuring 61 cm high and 23 cm wide, the generously proportioned tray sits flat on a surface. It functions practically in a home today on a sideboard top for serving drinks, canapés, and afternoon tea, or serves as a decorative base to display decanters and glasses.

FAQs

A silver plated serving tray is a dining vessel crafted from a base metal, such as nickel silver or copper, coated with a thin layer of fine silver via electroplating. Popularised in the nineteenth century, these trays provided the visual appearance of solid sterling silver serveware at a lower weight and cost.

Most silver plated trays from the early twentieth century feature a base metal core, frequently electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), coated with sterling-grade silver. The central surface decoration is typically created through chasing or mechanical engraving, while relief borders and handles are cast separately and attached with solder.

Authentic silver plated pieces generally bear makers stamps or acronyms such as EPNS or EPBM near the base or handles. Gradual wear on high points that reveals a warm yellowish or copper-toned base metal underneath, known as bleeding, also serves as a key indicator of genuine age and electroplating.

Position the tray on a sideboard, coffee table, or drinks cabinet to group decanters, glassware, or small curated objects. Its polished metallic surface reflects light and adds contrast when placed against dark timber, stone, or matte painted furniture.

Clean the surface gently using a soft cotton cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dip solutions or abrasive pads that can remove the thin silver layer. Storing the tray in a low-humidity space or wrapped in tarnish-inhibiting cloth reduces the rate of natural oxidisation.
