The pierced silverplate gallery wraps all four sides with canted corners and two cut-out carrying handles, and a shield cartouche at the center holds an engraved monogram of interlaced letters. Trays like this anchored a drinks table or carried the tea things in an English household, and the heavy build here is a step above the lightweight versions. It stands on four ball feet with trefoil brackets underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 3.75 in H x 20.5 in W x 14 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Surface | Silverplate with original patina and oxidation, not replated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Primary Material | Quarter-sawn oak with silverplate gallery and mounts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Period | Edwardian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Date | Circa 1905\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Style | Edwardian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Also Known As | galleried serving tray, drinks tray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Maker | Unmarked\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Construction | Pierced silverplate gallery, cut-out handles, engraved shield cartouche, ball feet with trefoil brackets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Cartouche | Engraved interlaced monogram, rubbed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe tray is in good antique condition with honest wear throughout. The silverplate gallery and mounts show patina and oxidation across the surface, with darkening and some tarnish in the pierced sections and at the handles, consistent with age and use and not replated. The engraved shield cartouche at the center is rubbed, with the monogram softened but still legible. The quarter-sawn oak field is clean and shows its figure well, with light surface wear appropriate to age. All four ball feet are present, and the trefoil mounting brackets underneath are intact. No cracks or lifting to the oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#205\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482664861974,"sku":"AMD-03645","price":675.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_FranceInventoryContinued-10684.jpg?v=1785361505","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-oak-silverplate-gallery-serving-tray-english-1905","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
