An extraordinary and exceptionally heavy solid sterling silver meat/tree platter in the legendary "Francis I" pattern by Reed & Barton (Model 571A).

Weighing a monumental 2,138 grams, this expansive 21.5-inch platter features a deep well with a beautifully integrated juices/gravy tree reservoir. The wide, robust border is masterfully hand-chased with the intricate, high-relief fruit and cluster arrangements for which the Renaissance Revival Francis I pattern is globally celebrated.
