Artisan Antiques has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
In addition to its large form, the gauge and weight of this salver is superb; weighing in at 3.3kg, upon holding in hand it is incredibly heavy and sturdy.
Equally matching its grandness, the ornate decorations are also most excellently crafted. The outer cast-silver border has been intricately decorated with Bacchic themes of grapevines, grapes and female figural masks which have been finely hand-pierced. The central portion of the silver is further decorated with a profusely chased wreath of floral and Rococo themed embellishments.
The middle of the silver features a hand-engraved coat of arms of the Parker family (Further heraldic details below).
The salver is supported on three magnificent cast feet in Regency style. Featuring a classical English design of a lion's head with scrolled motifs above, such ornate decorations are found on the finest pieces of English silverware of the regency period including the likes of Paul Storr, Garrard & Benjamin Smith.
Due to its large and accommodating size, other fine silverware such as tea sets may be placed on top and furthermore, in the modern-day, one may wish to creatively use this piece as a luxury object of interior decor.
Whether be it for a central attraction piece or for holding a vase of flowers, salvers are excellent objects that provide multiple practical uses.
Clear English hallmarks are present on the reverse side of the salver and cast border, however, for some peculiar reason the maker's mark is omitted (most likely due to human error).
