A magnificent and very large vintage English silver plated (on copper) gallery tray. Perfect for serving afternoon tea or pre-dinner drinks – all you need is a butler to carry it into your elegant drawing room! Oval in shape and measuring an extremely generous 20.5 x 15.5 inches. The pierced gallery rail has cutout grab handles at either end and the plateau is beautifully chased with a classic pattern of flowers and foliage surrounding a blank central cartouche. The tray stands on four domed feet. Very solid and weighty. Offered for sale in very good vintage condition. It sits perfectly flat and the plate is still nice and bright. There are a few dark spots around the inside edge (see photos) and a very tiny shallow dent in the gallery (see photo) but nothing that you wouldn’t expect in a used item of this age and type. I sell a lot of these old trays and this is a fabulous example – unusually big and it has obviously been well cared for. Freshly cleaned and polished to a high shine.
