Condition Report
The overall condition of the salver and the decoration appears to be good. There is general light wear and surface marks and scratches. The scratches are more noticeable to the areas of plain silver. There are remnants of polish all over and especially to the relief moulded outer rim. There are a couple of cracks in the metal near to the applied feet, one in particular is quite large. Hallmarks to the reverse are clear and legible.
