presenteerblad van zilver 1764 - 1765

This silver serving tray, or "presenteerblad van zilver" in Dutch, was crafted by Willem Schiff between 1764 and 1765. The tray features a simple, yet elegant design with a smooth, polished surface and a delicately ornamented border. It rests on three scrolled feet that add a touch of sophistication to the piece. This tray is a fine example of the silversmith's art during the Rococo period, known for its ornate details and emphasis on graceful curves. The tray's understated yet refined appearance speaks to its intended use as a display piece for precious objects or food during formal events.
