Pair this antique silver plated serving tray with pieces from our Vintage Flatware & Tableware collection and layer in complementary accents from our Vintage Bar Decor collection for a timeless and collected display.
This antique silver plated serving tray was made in the United States by Manning Bowman, a respected maker known for elegant silver-plated wares in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This piece features a beautiful reticulated border and a decorative crest at the center, details that give it both visual interest and a distinctly old-world feel.
We are always drawn to trays like this because they work so hard throughout the home. Use it at the table for candies or bread, on a vanity for perfumes and jewelry, or on a coffee table to corral a few favorite objects. The pierced edge keeps the tray feeling light and graceful, while the aged silver plate brings a lovely soft glow and patina.
The non-monogrammed crest is especially charming and gives the piece a refined decorative quality without tying it to a specific family or initial. It is the sort of antique tray that layers beautifully into almost any traditional, European-inspired, or collected interior.
