Very ornate, shiny, rich looking silver plate tray that is both useful and decorative. It still shines with much silver.
Rectangular heavy silver plated metal tray. The center of the tray has been stamped with an oval florid motif. The very center has an etched name “Mr. & Mrs. John Clough†and the words, “A Token of Esteem From Friends of the Evanston Bapt Churchâ€. The edge border is a repeating shield pattern with ornate corners.
There are no manufacturer’s marks or labels.
MEASUREMENTS 14 ½†(36.8 cm) x 11†(28 cm) x 5/8†(1.6 cm) deep. Weighs 2 lb 11.1 oz oz (1.22 kg)
CONDITION The base rests flat on a table. There is a small dent on the word Church. There are wear scratches. The tray still has much silver and has polished up well. The tray looks like a million dollars.
The elaborate tray will show off a tea set or a glass vase with flowers. In a dark corner it will reflect the light. Victorian trays in good condition are hard to find.
