This Georgian sterling silver platter takes an oval form, measuring 35 cm in length and weighing 840 grams. It presents a polished silver surface decorated with an engraved heraldic crest and small engraved marks near the rim, alongside fine surface scratches showing signs of age and handling. A heavy cast border wraps the perimeter, detailed with repeating gadrooning and ornate shell motifs at intervals. The base rests flat on any surface. In a contemporary home, this piece functions practically as a serving tray on a dining table or as a decorative display object on a sideboard top. It complements traditional or formal interior settings, providing a functional item of eighteenth-century silverware for domestic use or collection display.

FAQs

George III Irish silver, produced between 1760 and 1820, is defined by its standard of craftsmanship, distinct Dublin hallmarks, and refined decorative details such as gadrooned borders, shell motifs, and heraldic crest engravings.

These platters were wrought from solid sterling silver, featuring hand-shaped oval basins combined with cast border detailing and hand-engraved armorial insignia.

Authentic items carry Dublin assay hallmarks, typically including the Hibernia symbol, the Crowned Harp, a specific makers mark, and a year letter code.

An antique silver platter can be styled as a central tray on a sideboard to display glassware, arranged on a dining table, or positioned vertically in a display cabinet.

Maintain the surface using a specialised silver polishing cloth or a mild silver foam cleanser, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemical dips that can strip delicate engraved details.
