ESTPLATE - Tray - Silverplated, Sheffield

Elegant circular serving tray with a pierced gallery rail (gallery tray) resting on decorated feet, superb English craftsmanship from the second half of the 20th century.
The piece was made by the famous Westplate Tray Company in Sheffield, England, a world-renowned district for silverware.
The item is stamped on the base with the trademark, the inscription "Silver Plate on Copper" and the iconic Georgian-style pseudo-hallmarks.
The tray stands out for its finely engrave d inner surface with rich floral ornaments and rococo-style volutes that elegantly frame the center.
The precious technique of copper-core silver plating gives the tray notable robustness and a substantial weight, typical of high-quality objects.
The perforated edge (gallery) and the paw-footed feet make it a perfect classic decorative element, ideal as a centerpiece, luxury catchall, or for serving liqueurs.
