Fabulous French Sterling Silver Round Tray / Salver
Regular price
$1,902.00
Presented is a very fine sterling silver round tray or platter made in Continental Europe, very likely France. The platter has a fabulous applied rim with wonderful floral, leaf and shell motifs.
The platter is marked in the center of the back with STERLING for sterling silver purity. There is also a mark on the back rim that looks like an effaced hallmark which we cannot read. We have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be at least sterling silver purity, possibly higher.
The condition is excellent. The rim is in great shape with very little wear. The platter has had a small monogram removal close to where the hallmark was. The metal is thinner at this spot, but this is very hard to notice from the front and therefore insignificant in our opinion. There are no breaks, no cracks, no splits, no dents, no chips and no repairs.
The platter measures 14 inches in diameter.
The weight is 797.8 grams or 28.14 ounces.
