A Antique Edwardian Sterling Silver Oval Tray Salver Sheffield 1903 Tc Jwc

Antique Edwardian sterling silver oval serving tray, manufactured in Sheffield, England, in 1903. It features a plain, sunken central well with a polished reflective finish, providing a clean surface devoid of any engravings, monograms, or chased decorations. The raised, scalloped border is ornamented with an applied cast gadroon rim, a classic decorative element consisting of a series of repeating slanted ridges that follow the undulating silhouette of the tray. The tray is constructed from heavy-gauge sterling silver and maintains a symmetrical, lobed profile. The underside is finished to a smooth, uniform surface, designed to sit flat for stability during use. Struck into the metal are four distinct British hallmarks: a partially rubbed maker's mark for the partnership T.C. & J.W. Carryer, the Sheffield crown town mark, the lion passant standard mark certifying sterling silver purity (92.5%), and the lowercase date letter "l" corresponding to the year 1903.   Approximate Dimensions & Weight:
