A superb example of a Georgian period mahogany tray, double banded in brass and with carved carrying handles. The vertical pieces are rabbeted into the bottom, making this a complex item to construct. Trays such as this reached their height of craftsmanship in the Regency period from 1800-1820 while George III was incapacitated. Condition is very good; there have been very minor repairs over time on the sides. Dimensions: 24 5/8 inches long; 15 5/8 inches wide; 2 1/8 inches high.

American silver manufacturers in the latter part of the 19th century made some high quality products. The firm of Dominick & Haff was notable; among their excellent items were sterling silver photograph frames, which were a popular item in the period. Here we have an assembled pair of a rare model. I bought one of them about two years ago; it sat on my desk because I never found time to repair the ribbon holding easel in position...

It also contains nine lithographs representing the various communes and their vineyards.
We are offering four of these lithographs, handsomely framed in gilt frames with archival materials...
