Presented is a fine antique Reed & Barton silverplate pie, cake, or pastry server. This piece dates to the late 1800s and is made in a wonderful Medallion pattern. As the name suggests, this pattern features a prominent design of a classical Greco-Roman helmeted figure in profile, against a finely engraved background. The blade of the server has an attractive engraved design of a bowl of fruit inside a lozenge shape, surrounded by grape leaves and vines and little florettes. A very handsome and well made piece.
The stem is stamped with the maker's mark for Reed & Barton, as well as a patent date of December 29th, 1868.
This server is in excellent overall condition. The details of the pattern are fairly crisp. No wear through the silver plating that I can find. No splits, no dents, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
