French silver tea tray, Maison Bloch Eschwége, .950 standard
Silver : Sterling : Hollowware
Bruce Cherner Antique Silver
2462 Sold
Paris circa 1920, no monogram, some extremely minor (and soft) dents but fine overall condition, no monogram, weight 82.6 Troy ounces, marked as shown in third and fourth photos.
This is a grand tea tray, fully two feet (exclusive of handles) by sixteen inches. I was tempted to include a foot, a baby or a small dog for scale, but judged the former to be in poor taste and could not furnish either of the latter. Buy it now, and watch the value increase as world order ceases to function!
