Originally designed as a \"waiter\" or card tray to receive visiting cards in an Edwardian hallway, this small, shallow silver-plated dish has spent the last century finding new ways to be useful.\u003cbr\u003eTurned out by the Sheffield silversmiths Cooper Brothers, the tray features a classic beaded border framing a wide, elegantly chased band of Victorian floral and fern foliage. The underside bears the firm’s distinctive hallmark: a tiny, crisp stamp of a cooper working on a barrel.\u003cbr\u003eWhile it has retired from formal Victorian parlor duties, its shallow 7-inch diameter makes it a thoroughly civilized modern home for your car keys on a hallway console, daily jewelry on a dressing table, or loose coins on a desk. It carries an honest, lightly aged patina with minor surface micro-scuffs from decades of domestic utility—just enough history to give it genuine character without looking tired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Details \u0026amp; Maker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• The Maker: Cooper Brothers, Sheffield, England (C Bros S).\u003cbr\u003e• The Mark: Features the firm's traditional \"cooper and barrel\" pictorial stamp.\u003cbr\u003e• Material: Electro-Plated Nickel Silver (EPNS), Pattern No. 1233.\u003cbr\u003e• Era: Late Victorian \/ Edwardian (c. 1890–1910).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Dimensions: Diameter of 7 inches (approx. 18 cm).\u003cbr\u003e• Condition: Good antique condition.
