About Antique Sterling Silver Trays

Trays are a utilitarian item turned elegant by the use of sterling silver. Three of the most sought-after styles are Georgian, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco. The Georgian style, known for its elegant and airy handles and design elements, is found mostly in French and English silver. Art Nouveau, with its intricate patterns, tends to have more pictoral motifs than the others. And Art Deco tends to be sparse and streamlined, often engraved with geometric patterns and concentric circles.
