Antique Silver Plated Salver – Elaborate Scroll Engraved Tray with Shell & Acanthus Border
This exquisite antique silver plated salver is a timeless statement piece, reflecting the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Carefully worked by hand, the surface is adorned with elaborate scroll engraving that catches the light beautifully, while the ornate rim features a rich shell and acanthus leaf border classic design motifs associated with fine English silverware of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Traditionally, salvers were prized both as functional serving trays and as symbols of status, used to present tea, cards, letters or ceremonial gifts in refined households. Raised on three decorative feet, this piece was designed to elevate not just its contents, but the setting itself whether placed at the centre of a dining table, on a sideboard or a polished dressing table.
The softly aged patina gives this tray its authentic antique character, telling the story of countless hands and occasions it may have served over generations. Today, it offers both beauty and versatility: perfect as a silver serving tray, an elegant centrepiece, or a display base for candles, decanters or treasured objects.
