Superb Wallace Baroque Tray

Wallace Silversmiths began operations in 1835 and over the years it had several different variations of the name Wallace but uniquely it did not give up its name and become part of International Silver in the early 1900's, as most other American Silver Companies did. (More history below).  Its most popular pattern ever was and still is "Wallace Baroque", which was created in 1941. This huge Wallace Baroque  tray is 28” x 20.5”! It is has a deep oval bowl which is trimmed with a very wide, scalloped edge of ornately designed flowers, leaves, swags, shells and swirls.  The handles are very substantial as are the four acanthus leaf legs.  The center is shiny silver plate. It is fabulous! Faint surface scratches - particularly along top - see photos - but otherwise very good condition for age. Interesting history (from Wikipedia): It was founded by Robert Wallace who was born in Prospect, Connecticut, on November 13, 1815. He was the son of Scottish immigrant and silversmith James Wallace
