An exceptional, fine and impressive, large pair of antique Victorian English sterling silver entrée dishes made by Walker and Hall; an addition to dining silverware collection

These exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver entree dishes have a rounded oval form.

The surface of each cover is encircled with a fine band of bright cut engraved stylised scrolling leaf and undulating line decoration incorporating lozenge and floral shaped motifs.

The decoration to each dish incorporates a vacant cartouche to either side.

The surface of each base and the interior of the covers are plain and unembellished.

The rim of each entree dish base, in addition to the upper surface of the covers are encompassed with an applied stylised Roman leaf border.

Both covers retain the original fine and impressive fully hallmarked key fitting detachable shaped scrolling handles ornamented with further applied stylised Roman leaf borders.

These antique silver dishes with covers are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in excellent condition.
