Vintage Art Silver Co. Silver-Plated Tray, Circa 1950s

This small tray by the Art Silver Company is a fantastic example of a mid-century piece with a historic spirit. While manufactured in the post-war era, its design is a direct nod to the ornate sensibilities of the earlier Victorian period, a style that experienced a revival in popularity during the 1950s and 60s. The maker's mark "Art S Co SP 80" authenticates its origin and production. The tray's intricate design and untouched blank cartouche make it a charming object with a story. It is a versatile piece that can be used to hold jewelry, serve as a valet tray for keys and coins, or simply act as a decorative accent on a coffee table or shelf. A wonderful find for collectors of vintage silverplate or anyone who appreciates the timeless appeal of classic decorative design. It offers a touch of history and sophistication that is both elegant and highly functional.
