Vintage and Antique Platters and Trays
Large platters for copious quantities of food can help set the mood of the table when one is throwing a dinner party, but, generally, vintage and antique silver platters and trays of any size are an excellent addition to a dining room whether they’re relegated to decorative purposes or are part of your regular serveware rotation.
Platters and trays range in form and function, granting a window to the past and dining traditions of another era. As types of serveware, they obviously come into use when it’s time to settle into a family holiday supper. Alternatively, as part of your home decor, vintage platters and trays can be displayed empty or layered with other objects.
Although platters can be displayed flat or upright, trays are most often used as flat staging areas. Both platters and trays can enhance tabletop settings for family gatherings or business dinners. No afternoon tea set is complete without a complementary tray.
Platters can add a pop of color or act as a minimalist counterpoint to vibrant decorative elements. Layering them with other serveware, such as a silver charger, can add dimension; pairing them with classic pieces in porcelain or glass can provide a playful touch. Browse 1stDibs for serveware inspiration and find a vintage or antique platter or tray to fit every taste.
