Used

Silver-plated octagonal tray from the 19th century, with embossed decoration

Impressive antique octagonal silver-plated tray, with intricate embossed decoration around the edges and a smooth central surface. Classic, symmetrical design, suitable for both use and decoration.
It comes from my great-grandmother's dowry, who lived in Egypt. It then 'joined' my grandmother's dowry and subsequently my mother's – always in Egypt.
Given its age, it is in very good condition and has the patina of time that gives it special value.
On the back, it bears a clear EPNS (Electro Plated Nickel Silver) stamp, indicating a silver-plated item on a metal alloy (not solid silver). There is also a second marking, which is partially illegible (see photo) and cannot be confirmed with certainty regarding the brand or origin.
Dimensions (maximum, approximately): 30 × 30 cm.
Material: silver-plated metal (EPNS)
Possible period of manufacture: late 19th century (estimate based on type and marking, without official documentation)
Suitable for:
• serving
• display / buffet / sideboard
• classic or vintage decoration
• collectors of silver-plated items
An excellent decorative piece for displays, sideboards, dining rooms, but – why not? – also suitable for use. With some base or hanging system (not provided with the tray), it can even be placed upright or hung on a wall.
I am a private individual. All items come from personal or family collection. I take great care in packaging. Orders are shipped within 1-3 days.
