Salver 1735 - 1745

This silver salver, crafted by Simeon Soumaine between 1735 and 1745, is a prime example of 18th-century English silversmithing.

This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Soumaine's meticulous craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of decorative silver objects. The salver is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period.
