Antique Victorian Elkington Silver Plated Set of Three Engraved Salvers - 1872

19th century
Description

A Stunning Set of Three Antique Victorian Country House Silver Plated Salvers by Elkington & Co. This set of three comprises of salvers of three different sizes. Each tray is finished with a neat beaded rim that gives a crisp, tailored outline. The centres are decorated with finely engraved scrolling foliage, framed within circular borders.

A small crest-style motif appears within the central reserve on each tray, adding a formal touch without dominating the design. All three trays sit on decorative scroll feet, lifting them slightly from the table for a more ceremonial presentation. The set is clearly marked Elkington & Co to the underside with the date latter ‘L’ for 1872.

* It is especially uncommon to find a graduated set of three still kept together by a renowned maker such as Elkington, making this intact trio particularly appealing.

Measurements:

Diameter large: 12" (approx. 30.5cm)

Diameter mid-sized: 10" (approx. 25.5cm)

Diameter small: 8" (approx. 20cm)

Total weight of set of 3: 1550g

In good condition – The silver plate shows only light surface wear consistent with age and gentle use.

Declaration

Kingsdown Antiques has dated these Victorian Silver Plated Salvers to the Victorian era.

FAQs

A salver is a flat tray, usually made of metal or silver, designed without handles. Historically, it was used in formal households to serve food or drinks, as well as to present calling cards or mail to the master of the house.

In the 19th century, electroplating became the standard method for coating base metals like nickel silver or copper with a layer of fine silver. Salvers were typically constructed with cast feet, beaded or gadrooned borders, and hand-engraved surface ornamentation.

Authentic Elkington silver plate features stamped manufacturer marks, often including Elkington & Co, date letters, and specific maker inventory numbers on the underside. The quality of electroplating and detail in the engraving are key indicators of original production.

Antique silver salvers can be placed flat on a sideboard or bar cart to group glassware and decanters. Alternatively, they can be displayed vertically on plate stands within decorative shelving or mounted as reflective wall accent pieces.

Silver plated items should be gently cleaned using a soft cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish to prevent removing the thin layer of silver plate. Regular light dusting and avoiding harsh chemical cleansers or abrasive sponges will protect the delicate surface finish.
