About the Item
Oval-shaped silver tray by Georg Roth & Co. embossed with a Napoleonic scene
German, Late 19th Century
Height 3cm, width 57.5cm, depth 47.5cm, weight 1.87kg
This superb piece of silverware depicts Napoleon’s return from the island of Elba in 1815, which was to be his final military action before his defeat by the British at Waterloo. Embossed after a painting by Charles de Steuben entitled ‘Napoleon’s Return from Elba’ (1818), the central panel depicts Napoleon triumphantly leading his troops, holding his standard high. The panel is rendered with impressive similarity to the original painting, with many of the minute expressions, costumes, and background details of the painting captured by the tray’s maker.
Surrounding the scene is a circular border, which features further armorial decoration, as well as decorative foliate designs. The entire tray is surrounded by a crimped-edge rim.
The hallmarks of the German silversmiths Georg Roth & Co. can be seen in the upper left corner. Based in Hanau, the company was renowned for creating fine silverware pieces in the opulent French Rococo style.
Rendered with an extraordinary level of detail, this impressive tray depicts a pivotal moment in history, making it a prime collector’s item for anyone interested in military antiques.

Antique Arabesque Steel Plate with Gold and Silver Inlay
Located in London, GB
Antique Arabesque steel plate with gold and silver inlay.
Continental, 19th century
Dimensions: Height 2cm, diameter 32.5cm
Beautifully crafted from steel with gold and silver damascening, this fine 19th century plate is profusely decorated with scrolling arabesque detailing. Around the rim of the plate, scrolling foliate vines and flowers are interspersed with four grotesque masks. The centre is similarly decorated, with intertwining scrolls, acanthus leaves, dolphin heads, and swans.
There are also two coats of arms to the centre, which feature crowns and gold bows above. On one of the shields, the top half features a bird with its wings spread wide, with a church building to the bottom half. The other has an angel figure to the left and a double headed eagle to the right. The joining of two coats of arms in this manner often symbolizes the joining of two noble families in marriage, so the present plate could have been produced in celebration of a noble wedding.
This manner of decoration is similar to that of Spanish metalworker Plácido Zuloaga...
