This Victorian gallery tray comes in Sheffield plate with a silver colour and copper elements. It has a bright cut finish, a triple lipped veranda pierced gallery, canted corners, and paw feet. The surface displays a geometric stamped fern design and a Lancashire Rose pierced cartouche, accompanied by a signed stamp to the bottom reading "T.W". Twin carrying handles at either end incorporate bunched and scrolled elements with ring turned bars. The dimensions measure 10 cm high, 63 cm wide, and 48 cm deep. Practical placement includes positioning the piece on a sideboard top in a dining room or living space for serving drinks or displaying decorative items during gatherings. The large rectangular surface accommodates various items, while the sturdy handles allow for easy transport from kitchen to table.

FAQs

Old Sheffield plate refers to a technique developed in the 18th century where a sheet of sterling silver is fused to a copper ingot through heating and rolling. This created a durable material with the appearance of solid silver at a lower production cost.

These trays were crafted using silver-clad copper sheet metal, featuring pierced geometric borders, chased or hand-engraved surface designs, and cast handles soldered securely to the gallery rim.

Authentic pieces often exhibit minor copper exposure where silver has worn away through polishing, alongside struck maker marks, rolled wire rims covering exposed base metal, and engraved heraldic shields or foliage.

A gallery tray can be placed on a sideboard, drinks cabinet, or ottoman to organise crystal glassware, decanters, or small decorative accessories.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish formulated specifically for plated metals, taking care to avoid over-polishing which can strip the thin silver layer.
