Salver 1760 - 1770

This silver salver, crafted by William Homer between 1760 and 1770, showcases the intricate details of 18th-century silverwork. Its circular shape and ornate, undulating rim, adorned with delicate rococo motifs, reflects the popular taste of the era. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates the skilled artistry of Homer, a prominent silversmith active in the mid-18th century. The salver's small size suggests its intended use for serving or display within a domestic setting.
