As an authentic centenary table piece that has seen decades of honest domestic use, the face exhibits heavy localised silver plate breakthrough (bleed-through) on the rim, beautifully highlighting the warm undertones of the base metal underneath. Most notably, the wear includes distinct historical \"thumb marks\" where the servers gripped the platter over the generations, offering an irreplaceable, honest patina that prop buyers and curated decorators adore. The base shows light surface scuffs and typical cleaning scratches consistent with its age.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAIERAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAIERAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eProvenance:\u003cbr data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-pl=\"|||[]\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eSourced at Sunbury Antiques Market.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A Nice Old Thing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63778241904970,"sku":"ANT-26-10-02-13-53","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9317\/9722\/files\/IMG_9105.jpg?v=1790945192","url":"https:\/\/aniceoldthing.com\/products\/antique-edward-sons-glasgow-silver-plated-salver-chippendale-style-drinks-tray-c-1900","provider":"A Nice Old Thing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
