An 18th-century George III sterling silver snuffer tray made in London by John Cafe in 1764 presents a rectangular shape with a reflective silver finish. The piece displays a gadrooned border, an engraved armorial crest in the centre, a shell-form handle rising from the middle, and four cast scroll feet. Clear hallmarks appear under the base. The 18cms long tray weighs 240 grams and remains in very good condition. In a contemporary home, the item serves as a decorative accessory for an office desk or a gentleman's library display. The silver surface catches the light, while the raised border and detailed handle provide both visual interest and practical utility for holding small items or pairing with matching candle-trimming implements.

FAQs

A Georgian silver snuffer tray is a specialized silver dish designed during the 18th century to hold candle snuffers or wick trimmers when not in use.

These trays were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring hand-engraved armorial crests, gadrooned edges, and cast silver handles or feet.

Authentic George III silver bears official British hallmarks, including the makers mark, sovereigns head duty mark, lion passant for sterling purity, assayers town mark, and date letter.

An antique silver snuffer tray functions effectively in contemporary settings as an elegant desktop pen tray, hall console key dish, or dressing table trinket holder.

Wipe regularly with a soft cotton cloth and apply a non-abrasive silver polish occasionally to gently remove tarnish while preserving detail in hand-engraved surfaces.
