Salver

Thomas Hamersley

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round silver tray with ornate edge. The edge has a repeating pattern of raised floral motifs and beads. The center of the tray has a monogram etched into it, consisting of the letters "E", "H", and "C" intertwined. The tray is displayed on a gray background with a slight shadow underneath. The overall design and style of the tray suggest it is a piece of antique silverware, specifically a salver made by Thomas Hamersley.
