Description from the seller
Imposing and robust oval tray made by the famous Art. Krupp Berndorf manufactory. This specimen stands out for the material's thickness and the build quality typical of the 'Alpacca' or 'Silver Plate' production destined for grand hotels and luxury cruise lines of the last century.
The Krupp Berndorf brand is synonymous with Austrian excellence. Founded in the mid-1800s, the Berndorf factory became famous worldwide under the leadership of Arthur Krupp. The bear symbol (the Berndorf Bear) was introduced to distinguish high-quality products. Objects bearing the 'Art. Krupp' mark were favorites of the Austrian Imperial Court and were chosen for their indestructibility and timeless design.
The tray is an authentic piece with a splendid patina of time:
Front: It presents a maintained shine with light signs of surface use that attest to its originality.
Back: As visible in the photo, the base shows signs of 'lived through' wear (scratches and micro-scratches from rubbing) due to resting on hard surfaces over the decades. These marks do not compromise the piece's sturdiness, but tell its story.
Punching/marking: Bearing the prestigious mark clearly visible on the back—the central mark with the bear, the inscription 'Art. Krupp Berndorf' and the serial numbers (56 and 3), a guarantee of authenticity and superior quality of the heavy galvanic silvering.
Producer: Art. Krupp Berndorf
Shape: Oval with smooth edge
Weight: 1.4 kg - Solid (a substantial piece, not a light sheet)
Era: Late 19th / Early 20th Century
Length: 42.5 cm
Width: 28 cm
Height: 3 cm
