Viners was one of Sheffield's major silverplate manufacturers, established in 1908 and granted a Royal Warrant as Cutlers and Silversmiths to King George V in 1936. The Alpha Plate designation identifies this as their highest-grade silverplate. The chasing covers the full face of the tray in scrolling acanthus foliage with cartouche panels, a decorative vocabulary typical of Viners' production in the 1930s and 1940s. The pierced gallery runs the full perimeter in a repeating lancet arch pattern with a beaded inner rim. A practical size for a drinks tray, side table, or vanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Maker | Viners of Sheffield, England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Silver plate (Alpha Plate, Viners' highest-grade electroplate over base metal)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Mark | Corporate Mark, Alpha Plate, Granted by The Cutlers Company, Viners of Sheffield, England, Chased\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Origin | Sheffield, England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1930s-1940s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Style | Georgian Revival, traditional English silverplate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Size | 1.25 in H x 12.5 in W x 8 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Gallery | Pierced reticulated border, repeating lancet arch pattern with beaded inner rim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Surface | Densely chased scrolling acanthus foliage with cartouche panels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGood vintage condition overall. The decorated face presents with an even patina consistent with age and shows no significant plate wear or silverloss across the chased surface. The pierced gallery is intact with no bent or broken elements visible. The underside base metal shows heavy surface scratching from use, which is typical of a working tray and not visible from above. No dents noted to the rim or body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51464308359446,"sku":"AMD-03323","price":210.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/JuneEnland2026-6192.jpg?v=1783363824","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/sheffield-alpha-plate-oval-gallery-tray","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
