Salver 1744 - 1745

"Salver," a 1744-1745 silver tray by John Robinson, showcases the craftsmanship of the Rococo period. The intricately engraved surface features delicate floral motifs and a central coat of arms, typical of the style. The scalloped edge and the use of repoussé and chasing techniques further enhance the intricate beauty of this small, but exquisite object. The tray, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the high standards of artistry in 18th-century England.
