I
offer this very unusual, rare and possibly one of a kind (custom production) antique American made kidney shape with butterfly and fans Aesthetic design elements
and cherubs handles. Made of quadruple
silver plating, likely over copper. Stamped by the Simpson, Hall, Miller &
Co. of Wallingford Connecticut. Also
marked quadruple plate which was their best quality. Dating from c.1880 to 1885 when the aesthetic
movement was popular, getting its inspiration from Japanese design. The tray lays flat, without feet, which is
the best way to avoid damaging furniture, since it is very heavy.
I
have sold well over 1,000 silver and plated trays in the past and never
encountered another like this. It is
truly one of the best you will ever see.
The kidney shape is unique, as are the cherubs support for the handles
and the aesthetic design in the center and on the trim around the edge. Great designer or statement item.
