Footed salver c. 1717

This silver footed salver, crafted by English silversmith Gabriel Sleath in 1717, exemplifies the refined taste of the period. The simple, elegant design features a circular tray supported by a gracefully flared foot. The surface is adorned with a delicate, engraved design adding a touch of sophistication. The salver, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the early 18th century.
