This large Victorian circular drinks tray originates from England in 1875, produced in silver plate over nickel silver by Elkington and Co. The silver piece possesses a bright polished finish and measures 3.8 cm high, 39.4 cm wide, and 39.4 cm deep. Elkington hallmarks sit on the underside alongside date letter codes. The tray displays a pierced gallery rim, engine-turned radiating surface patterns across the base, and beaded borders. An engraved heraldic crest of a lion occupies the centre within a circular reserve. In a modern home, this piece functions practically upon a sideboard top for serving drinks or displaying decorative items.

Electroplating technology was patented by Elkington & Co in the 1840s, allowing silver to be deposited onto base metals. Victorian silver plated trays became standard dining accessories, featuring intricate engraving, engine turning, and decorative gallery borders.

These trays were typically constructed from nickel silver or copper and electroplated with fine silver. Gallery borders feature pierced lattice work or spindle design patterns, often accompanied by hand-engraved or engine-turned interior surfaces.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature maker stamps, date letters, and registration marks on the underside or rim. Elkington pieces specifically display corporate hallmarks alongside date codes indicating the exact year of production.

Position a silver gallery tray on a sideboard top or drinks cabinet to display decanters and glassware. It can also function as a central table catchall or decorative display base for candles and floral arrangements.

Clean silver plate using a soft cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish to prevent removing the silver layer. Avoid harsh chemicals, dishwasher cleaning, and abrasive sponges that cause wear or expose the base metal.
