This is a large and impressive early Georgian silver salver in absolutely original unrestored and undamaged condition. The decoration and armorial are obviously contemporary with the piece and as a result are slightly worn as are the undersides of the feet. The hallmarks are clearly struck and absolutely legible. The piece stand stands true on a tabletop and is of a wonderful colour and patina.
