Pair of English silver serving trays, George III style.
The handles reflect the elegant chiseled decoration of the edge that crowns the top of the tray. The refined line, classic and modern at the same time, makes these trays a useful and impactful furnishing accessory for any type of furniture.
The stamps on the bottom tell the story of the trays.
EP for Electro Plate (silver electroplating of metals), the initials JD&S stand for James Dixon & sons of Sheffield (one of the most important British manufacturers for silverware, the production of pewter, galvanic metal...), also represented by their specific trademark since the 19th century: the trumpet with flag. (date on which the owners' wedding was also celebrated)
On one of the two trays there is also another mark, which refers to Page Keen and Page of Plymouth (historic English silversmiths).
These marks indicate the possible production in the 1930s
Signs of oxidation.
In one of the trays, there are marks of wear on the surface.
