This stunning Victorian-era sterling silver serving tray, crafted in 1867 by renowned London silversmiths Andrew Crespel & Thomas Parker, showcases exceptional craftsmanship and elegance. The hand-engraved floral and drapery motif, combined with a beaded rim and ornate handles, exemplifies the intricate design aesthetics of the mid-19th century. The engraving of the colonial-era figure and "NOW THUS" suggests that this tray may have been commissioned for a historical or fraternal society.
The tray bears full English hallmarks, including the lion passant (sterling silver), leopard’s head (London assay mark), a date letter “m” (1867), and the maker’s mark “AC TP.”
A remarkable piece of Victorian silverware, this tray is perfect for collectors, antique enthusiasts, or as a striking centerpiece for elegant entertaining.
