A slightly smaller and considerably less detailed version of this Art Nouveau silver tray is offered elsewhere online for $1,200, because it's of hallmarked sterling. This one, which has been just been replated, can be yours for a great deal less. As you know if you collect Victorian and Edwardian vanity silver, items of the cherub or angel motif are the most coveted. This is an exceedingly beautiful rendition of the "Five Angels in the Clouds" pattern, embellished with loads of gorgeous scrollwork and finished with a scalloped edge. The tray measures about 10 1/2 inches by 7 1/2 inches and is in lovely condition, relative to the delicacy of antique repousse work. Two small areas of reinforcement are visible on the reverse, but you have to look hard to spot any problems on the front. A couple of teensy tears in the edging could stand to be reinforced (a cheap and easy fix). Underlying metal is brass and dating would be circa 1900. Acquired in England, this tray has been in my personal collection for about 20 years. Even then it was hard to find cherub silver.
