Silver Tray
Early 19th Century

This charming early 19th-century silver tray, likely of German origin, embodies the refined craftsmanship and detailed artistry of its era. Its petite oval shape is accented by a fluted edge reminiscent of 18th-century Irish strawberry dishes. The centerpiece of the tray is an elaborate repoussé scene, depicting four gentlemen in a garden setting enjoying drinks, with a tavern visible in the background. This pastoral tableau brings a lively narrative quality to the design, making it both functional and visually captivating.

The craftsmanship suggests German silversmithing of the early 19th century, a time when intricate repoussé work flourished. The design reflects a fusion of Baroque exuberance and emerging Romantic influences, showcasing the skill of its maker and the cultural narratives of its time. Additionally, this tray was a part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
