This antique sterling silver salver tray is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
The applied decoration is all very sharp and the bright cut engraved details are very crisp; the piece has seen little to no use.
Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the salver are very clear.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this exceptional silver serving tray.
