Description: A magnificent Elkington silver salver, of very generous proportions, circular with a cast border decorated with 4 faces (the 4 seasons), and an elaborate shell and scroll border. The salver is exceptional quality and weight, weighing 4.65 kilogrammes (164 ounces), so this is a very large and heavy salver. The salver rests on 8 shell feet (4 double feet). It has very clear hallmarks, and is also stamped "Elkington & Co, 31921", which is probably a pattern number. The four faces are as follows:
1. Old man with flowing beard
2. Young woman with wheat sheaves
3. Young woman with roses
4. Young woman with vines and grapes.
The border is cast, as can be seen in the photograph of the back of the rim.
