A beautiful silver-plated serving tray, made by Barker Brothers Co. in England between 1906 and 1912. The pierced lace-like work around the edge is remarkably delicate, while the finely chased floral motifs on the tray's surface attest to exceptional late-Victorian craftsmanship.
A rare piece, both decorative and functional, embodying the elegance of the English table during the Edwardian era. Dimensions: 16 x 16 in.
Founded in Birmingham, in the heart of England's metalworking region, Barker Brothers Co. was one of the leading manufacturers of quality silverware and silver plate in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Active during a time when Birmingham was known as the "City of a Thousand Trades," the factory produced pieces for British bourgeois and aristocratic tables.
Their trays, teapots, and serving pieces are distinguished by a particular attention to ornamental detail: pierced work, chasing, and floral motifs characteristic of the Edwardian style. Pieces dated 1906–1912 are particularly sought after for their quality of execution and historical interest.
