Stand 1790 - 1800

"Stand" is a silver tray created by American silversmith Daniel Van Voorhis between 1790 and 1800. The tray is oval-shaped with a beaded rim and sits on three short, sturdy legs. The center of the tray features an engraved crest with a heart and two winged figures, possibly representing the owner's coat of arms. The tray is a fine example of American silversmithing of the late 18th century, and is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
