Silver-plated round gallery tray with reticulated border

This silver-plated gallery tray dates from the mid-20th century, likely between 1940-1970. It features a characteristic reticulated or pierced gallery rim that was popular during this period, designed both for decorative purposes and to prevent items from sliding off the tray. Such trays were commonly used in formal dining settings for serving drinks, small appetizers, or as display pieces on vanities or sideboards. They are highly valued by collectors of vintage silverware and those interested in mid-century entertaining accessories for their elegant design and versatility. The pierced gallery border represents the craftsmanship typical of silver-plated serving pieces from this era.
