The gadrooned border is characteristic of the 1790s, when the fine beading of the Neoclassical period gave way to the more robust edging that would continue into the Regency. Pairs of salvers of this scale were commissioned to be used together on the sideboard, and their survival as a pair is notable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGood overall.
