FAQs

Art Deco silver barware from the 1920s and 1930s is characterised by clean geometric shapes, streamlined contours, and polished mirror-like finishes, reflecting the modern industrial aesthetic of the early 20th century.

Trays from this era were commonly crafted from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), solid sterling silver, or chrome-plated metal, often featuring cast handles and spun metal bases.

Authenticity can be verified by searching for makers marks or hallmarks stamped onto the underside, examining construction methods such as soldered fittings, and inspecting the geometric design typical of the period.

Position the tray on a sideboard, bar cart, or coffee table to group crystal decanters, glassware, or decorative objects, providing a reflective base that adds visual structure.

Clean silver plate using a soft cloth and a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish to prevent removing the plating, avoiding harsh dishwashers or submersion in water for extended periods.
