Salver 19th century

"Salver" is a 19th-century Italian silver and gold dish by Franchi and Son, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The dish is meticulously crafted with a raised rim adorned with alternating silver and gold dots. Its surface is entirely covered in detailed repoussé (raised metalwork) depicting a battle scene with numerous figures, likely an historical event. This meticulously crafted piece exemplifies the mastery of Italian silversmithing during the 19th century.
