No Reserve. An original 18th century coin silver tidbit or sweetmeat tray up on three ornate legs which is hand chased with a medallion of three pine like trees at center along with a floral garland swag around inner edge. The outer edge has embossed flowers and each of the three legs are decorated with beadwork and an openwork floral. The tray measures approximately 7" in diameter and stands 1 5/8" tall. The item is hallmarked on the upper surface of the top as well as on the outer rim (see photos). I do not what maker these stand for and hence do not know whether it is English or American. A fine piece of early hall marked silver which is completely fresh to the market from an old local estates attic. Condition - some wear and denting as shown, no splits, creases or repairs.
