![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am trying to get a sense of the background of this complex and ornate English silverplate tea service. There is no one in the Virginia Beach area I can find who can tell me anything about it. The oval salver, upon which it all sits is 31" handles included, or 26" without including the handles, and 21" wide. As one can see in the pictures it is heavily decorated and engraved, as is the entire service. The service includes:
Silverplated on Copper Made in England It was purchased by my mother at auction sometime in the early 20s from a Vanderbilt estate, but clearly predates that era. It has been lovingly cared for (for the past 10 years it has been packed away) and is in excellent condition. There is some wear from polishing, but no dents, or nicks. I have attached several pictures on the theory seeing the service will say more than I can.
