Lovely vintage large footed silver-plated tray with a gorgeous ornate design on the rim.
*Heavy silver plated tray with a beautiful pattern around the rim and centre of the tray.
*From the research I've done on silver marks, I believe this is a Barker Ellis tray - they used the "gate" symbol from 1932. Before that they had their well-known candelabra symbol and even a shell and pineapple earlier! The business established in Birmingham in 1801. In the 1960s, merging with Ellis & Co (Birmingham) Ltd, the firm changed to Barker Ellis Silver Co Ltd. Barker Ellis (formerly Barker Brothers) is well known for its high quality silver plate.
*In very nice vintage condition.
*Measures approx 36cm in diameter.
*Made in England, maker's details and backstamp on back.
*Stand used in display not included.
*Please excuse reflections in silver - it's hard to photograph!
