Salver 1795 - 1796

This silver salver, created by Robert Sharp between 1795 and 1796, showcases the craftsmanship of the late 18th century. The circular tray, resting on three elegant feet, is a testament to the refined taste of the period. The engraved coat of arms, prominently displayed in the center, adds a personal touch, indicating its potential use as a ceremonial or decorative piece within a grand household. The salver, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, serves as a reminder of the artistry and functionality of silverwork during the Georgian era.
