A Pair of Georgian Silver Salvers with Cast BordersSOLD
A beautiful pair of Georgian Silver salvers made in London 1764 by Francis Butty and Lewis Herne. They are of very fine quality, and charming design. Each salver measures 7.5 inches wide. The total weight of both of these fine Georgian salvers is 27oz approx.
These wonderful rococo circular trays are termed Georgian silver waiters, and were for many different uses. Many people tell you they were intended for calling cards, but this is only one of their many uses. In Georgian times, as now, one might use one as a silver wine coaster, a glass coaster or to stand a candlestick on, or even a tea pot!
