This silver salver, created by Robert Sharp between 1795 and 1796, is a beautiful example of functional and decorative art from the late 18th century. The round, slightly raised tray with a simple, elegant design is supported by three elegantly curved legs. The center of the salver features an engraved crest, suggesting it was likely a commissioned piece intended for personal use. This piece exemplifies the craftsmanship of the period and serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and practicality of silverwork.

James Ford Bell's practice of giving silver to the Institute of Arts did not go unnoticed. In commemoration of his generosity as well as his service to Washburn Crosby (1915-1928) and General Mills (1928-1947), his associates at General Mills presented him with these two lovingly inscribed salvers in 1949. The salvers were later given to the Institute by Bell's three sons.
