The Collection
This curated six-piece collection brings together the quiet elegance of European tableware and the confident craftsmanship of American mid-century silverplate—assembled not as a random assortment, but as a cohesive, usable set for modern entertaining.
Spanning the late 19th century through the 1950s, each piece was selected for scale, balance, and visual harmony. Together, they create a layered tablescape that feels intentional, elevated, and lived-in—never precious, never overdone.
This is silver meant to be used.
Included Pieces
→ Two European silver-plated scallop shell dishes (circa 1890–1910), with deep ribbed wells and softly worn patina—ideal for salts, nuts, or display
→ Two International Silver pierced plates (circa 1930s–40s), versatile bread-and-butter or dessert plates with classic openwork rims
→ One Oneida Georgian Scroll serving tray, a recognized mid-century pattern with ornate scroll engraving and substantial presence
→ One Gorham silver-plated serving tray, refined and restrained, bearing Gorham’s anchor mark and electroplate designation
Each piece complements the others while retaining its own period character.
Design & Craftsmanship
→ Silver-plated construction throughout
→ Pressed and machine-engraved decoration consistent with period manufacture
→ Mixed European and American origins
→ Substantial weight and scale, particularly in the serving trays
→ No modern reproductions
These are pieces that age honestly and photograph beautifully—whether styled on a dining table, sideboard, or open shelving.
Condition
All pieces are in good vintage condition, with visible surface wear consistent with age and use.
No structural damage, bends, or copper bleed-through observed.
Light patina remains in recessed details, preserving depth and authenticity.
Why This Collection Works
This set offers what individual listings cannot:
→ Visual cohesion without uniformity
→ A complete entertaining story in one purchase
→ Recognizable makers paired with earlier European forms
→ Immediate usability without further sourcing
Perfect for hosts, collectors, stylists, or anyone building a layered, timeless table.
The Viridian Standard
We curate with restraint.
We value integrity over shine.
And we believe objects should feel at home the moment they arrive.
This collection does exactly that.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.
White-glove delivery is complimentary within 100 miles of Reno, NV. National shipping quotes provided at checkout. All shipments are photographed and documented. Damage claims must be filed with the carrier; we provide all documentation needed to support your claim.
Local pickup is available at Viridian HQ (Reno, NV) with 2–4 days notice. Contact us to arrange. Private viewings also available.
All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
Have a question? — we're happy to provide additional photos, condition detail, or discuss the piece directly.
