Vintage silver plated centrepiece tray, made by WH & S LTD (William Hutton & Sons Ltd), an English company renowned for its production of high quality silverware. This piece, probably dating from the late 19th and early 20th century, combines functionality with a refined design inspired by the marine world. The tray is distinguished by its shape with three compartments, ideal for serving a variety of snacks, sweets, dried fruit or snacks during aperitifs or special events. Each compartment is masterfully crafted with an embossed motif, which creates a fascinating play of light and shadow on the silver-plated surface. The woven rope handle adds a nautical touch and lends a distinctive elegance. At the bottom, the riser is embellished with small shell\/snail decorations that enhance the marine theme. The presence of the hallmark \u2018WH & S LTD\u2019 and \u2018HARD SOLDERED\u2019 indicates that this is a high quality piece, probably silver-plated on copper or brass, with plating applied by hot soldering, a technique that ensured greater durability than other methods. This tray is perfect as a decorative centrepiece, to enhance an elegant table setting or to add a touch of vintage luxury to any room. An ideal piece for collectors of English silverware, lovers of Victorian or Edwardian design and those looking for an object of charm and quality. Excellent vintage condition, with the original silver patina and light signs of use consistent with age.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":12468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[37,30,28],"product_tag":[109,71,27],"class_list":{"0":"post-12452","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-articoli-per-la-tavola","7":"product_cat-oggetti-decorativi","8":"product_cat-oggettistica","9":"product_tag-iconico","10":"product_tag-noleggio","11":"product_tag-preloved","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"featured","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12452"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=12452"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=12452"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designstaging.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=12452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
