About the Item

Portuguese silver tray. Relief and openwork decoration, with volute foliage and shells. The shells combine with the sinuous curves and small floral details, creating a dynamic and elegant frame on the edge. The rich detail on the edge suggests that the piece was made by an experienced goldsmith, using traditional techniques such as chiseling and embossing. The quality of the relief and the fluidity of the lines demonstrate the high level of skill required to create such a detailed piece in silver. Portuguese silverware has a long tradition, being valued from the Baroque period to the present day. Pieces like this salver were often part of noble trousseaus or were given as gifts on special occasions. Furthermore, salves were often used in religious and ceremonial contexts, reinforcing their symbolic value.
