This 20th century silver-plated tray from Italy is finished in silver plate with a softly scalloped, shaped rim. The scalloped edge adds a quiet flourish, and the bright plating has the mellow glow of long use. Silver plating, perfected in the 19th century, brought the look of silver to the table at a fraction of the cost and became a staple of French and Italian entertaining. Signs of age are consistent with its years and part of its quiet appeal. A small piece with a presence out of proportion to its size, it suits a table, a desk or a shelf.
