VINTAGE English Silver Plated Oval Gallery Tea Drinks Serving Butlers Tray

A magnificent large vintage English silver plated (on copper) gallery tray. Perfect for serving afternoon tea or pre-dinner drinks - all you need is a butler to carry it into your elegant drawing room! Oval in shape and measuring a generous 18 x 12 inches. The pierced gallery rail has cutout grab handles at either end and the plateau is beautifully chased with a classic pattern of scrolls and foliage surrounding a blank central cartouche. The tray stands on four ball & claw feet.

Offered for sale in very good vintage condition. It sits perfectly flat and the plate is still nice and bright. There are a few small dark spots around the inside edge but nothing that you wouldn't expect in a used item of this age and type.

I sell a lot of these old trays and this is a lovely example - it has obviously been well cared for. Freshly cleaned and polished to a high shine. Please view my other items for sale and please follow me on Instagram - the.
