About the Item
A very fine and large early 19th century Georgian 'Old Sheffield Plate' serving tray of oval form. The surface richly engraved with foliate & scrolled motifs, centred by a sterling silver 'let-in' plaque engraved with a heraldic crest & motto, the rim decorated with applied foliate & scroll cast motifs in sterling silver and terminating at both ends with open handles. The underside showing impressed makers marks for Matthew Boulton, raised overall upon four short supports.
Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) is considered without question, one of the most important & influential industrialists and silversmiths of the 19th century, and although he died in 1809 the factory continued to produce items until approximately 1840.
'Old Sheffield Plate', not to be confused with items marked SHEFFIELD PLATE (which are much later and of lesser quality), was a process first developed in Britain during the mid-18th century that involved sandwiching a sheet of copper between two outer layers of sterling silver, then heating and rolling (annealing) it into sheets to then be formed into an assortment of table items i.e. various forms of hollow-ware, trays, candelabras, candlesticks, wine coasters, etc., and in some cases even cutlery which is quite scarce. This process is considered by collectors to be the finest method of silver plating ever developed, however it ceased production with the advent of electroplating, which was developed and patented by Elkington & Company in 1840.
