Antique silver plateau by Queen Victoria Sheffield, 1890s.

The antique tray marked "Queen Victoria Sheffield" belongs to the English tradition of producing tableware and serving items in the Victorian style. These items were produced in Sheffield, a famous centre for silver manufacturing. According to the stamp with the inscription "Queen Victoria" and the image of the coat of arms, this product is part of the so-called "Sheffield Plate" collection - a technique that involves covering copper or brass objects with silver. The mark on the teapot, such as the image of a crown, a coat of arms with a lion, and other symbols, is typical of British silverware manufacturers. The antique tray bears the original manufacturer's label. It is in good vintage condition. I believe one leg has been repaired, as there are signs of restoration. The foot is very secure, and the tray is stable.
