Large mid-18th-century silver salver
Large mid-18th-century silver salver
8391
An elegant silver salver made during the early reign of King George III in the mid 18th century. The style, with its pagoda shell and French gadroon applied, cast border, typifies the end of the baroque period and the introduction of the neoclassical influenced era.
The salver is mounted on three ball-and-claw supports and is engraved within a central cartouche featuring the marital coat of arms of Wilkes and Fiske. These arms undoubtedly commemorate the marriage of Hope Wilkes of Lofts Hall in Essex and Martha Ann Fiske, eldest daughter of Reverend Robert Fiske of Wendens Ambo, Essex.
An ideal size to use as a drinks tray or to serve canapés and petit fours; but beautiful and practical displaying a decanter and glasses.
