{"product_id":"vintage-silver-plate-oval-gallery-serving-tray-cavalier-england","title":"Vintage Cavalier Silver Plate Oval Gallery Tray, England","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAn oval silverplate gallery tray by Cavalier of England, with a pierced arcade gallery, two shell-capped scroll handles, and a well engraved with flowing floral scrollwork. The gallery is the reason to look twice, a row of slim Gothic arches cut clean through the metal that reads almost like tracery when the light passes behind it. It sits on four ball feet and is generous in scale, big enough to stage a full drinks setup or a floral centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 21.75 in W x 14 in D x 1.75 in H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Surface | Machine-buffed, with plate loss to gallery, well, and underside\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Material | Silverplate on base metal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Period | Mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Date | Circa 1960 to 1975\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 revival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Also Known As | galleried salver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Maker | Cavalier, Birmingham\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Mark | SILVER PLATED, CAVALIER, MADE IN ENGLAND, stamped to underside\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Decoration | Engraved floral and scroll well, pierced arcade gallery, gadrooned rim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Handles | Twin scroll handles with shell caps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Feet | Four ball feet\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 structurally sound and sits flat and steady on all four feet. The form is intact with no dents, no bends, and no damage to the pierced gallery. The plating shows honest wear from use. There is visible plate loss with copper and base metal showing through in several areas: along the gallery arches, in patches across the engraved well, and more heavily across the underside, where the surface is worn and mottled. The top surface carries scattered scratches, spotting, and areas of dark tarnish and discoloration, most noticeable around the rim and the shell handle mounts. The engraved decoration in the well remains crisp and fully legible. This is a piece that shows its age on the surface while remaining sound and fully usable, and the wear reads as character on a tray meant to be handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#17\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482655293718,"sku":"AMD-03455","price":300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_France_Inventory_Continued-10476.jpg?v=1785438636","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/vintage-silver-plate-oval-gallery-serving-tray-cavalier-england","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
