HUGE ANTIQUE 31 INCH SILVER PLATED SERVING TRAY Wm HUTTON Item #31889 A ‘massive’ antique silver plated serving tray by Wm Hutton & Sons of Sheffield, measuring 31.5 inches (80cm) across the handles and 21 inches (53cm) wide. It does have plate wear and a slight damage issue but such a beautiful large piece that’s its probably well worth getting it replated. Plating is quite worn and it ideally needs replating. There is a small area of damage to the surface that is not that visible from the front but more obvious from rear. This could easily be sorted when it is replated but it doesn’t cause any functional issues anyway. Some minor surface cracks (i.e. they don’t go through the tray) to the plating in other places. GBP74.99 click here to view item in our store

There is a lower ‘hidden’ side compartment accessible via the pull out plunger on right hand side of the interior and a pull down letters and mirror compartment to the lid. Box overall fine, no looses to exterior. Interior is also very good, the only real issue being that the pull to the middle lift out section is frayed. The mirror glass is a modern replacement but is well fitted. The glassware is all generally fine, plating to lids a little variable from good to slightly worn. Tools generally all ok. Has its original key and the lock works fine. GBP199.99 click here to view item in our store
