Salver 1710 - 1712

David King's "Salver" (1710-1712) is a silver serving tray with a raised center and a circular foot. The tray is engraved with a coat of arms, a common decorative element on silver objects of this period. The piece showcases the craftsmanship of the silversmithing tradition in England, with its meticulous detail and elegant form. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the "Salver" is a testament to the artistry of the early 18th century.
