Additional Description:
An elegant and richly detailed silverplate tray by Corbell & Co., bearing the desirable castle hallmark with “EP” (electroplated). This piece exemplifies the refined Rococo Revival aesthetic, featuring a scalloped, gadrooned rim adorned with shell and foliate ornament, and a beautifully engraved interior of scrolling acanthus, florals, and textured ground work.
The tray is raised on cast feet, giving it a subtle elevation and presence—ideal for tabletop styling, bar service, or layered decorative vignettes. The central reserve shows gentle wear from use, offering a soft patina that contrasts nicely with the more intricate surrounding engraving.
Corbell & Co. pieces are known for their quality electroplating and decorative appeal, making them enduring staples in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
Era:
Late 19th to Early 20th Century
History:
Corbell & Co. was active during the height of silverplate production, when electroplating technology allowed manufacturers to produce ornate, high-style wares inspired by earlier Georgian and Rococo silver. These pieces brought the look of aristocratic table service into a wider market, and today remain highly collectible for their craftsmanship and versatility.
Footed trays like this were traditionally used for tea service, calling cards, or presentation, and now serve equally well as decorative anchors in modern interiors.
Provenance:
England
Materials:
Electroplated silver (EP) over base metal
Dimensions:
(To be provided)
Disclaimers/Condition:
Good antique condition with surface wear consistent with age and use, including scratching, minor plate wear, and softening to the central engraving. Structurally sound and displays beautifully.
