How do I know if a silver tray is valuable?
1 Answer

To know if a silver tray is valuable, search the piece for markings that indicate the maker and materials. You can compare these markings to images found on trusted online resources to determine what type of silver the tray is and who produced it, and then research what similar pieces have sold for in the past. Generally, sterling silver and fine silver items fetch higher prices than silverplate. However, the maker, type and condition of a tray will also impact its value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can also perform a valuation for you. Shop an assortment of silver trays on 1stDibs.
