A stunning English silver plate tray with handles and fern motifs, large, lovely, and versatile. Perfect for serving or displaying a coffee or tea service, and equally impressive for a cocktail service with ample room for decanters and glasses.
The Victorian era tray is engraved with fern leaves — a motif that enjoyed enormous popularity during the period. The large handles feature beaded decoration, echoed by a smaller bead border around the entire tray.
