mastro peltraio (JLW/ILW) - Centrepiece - oval pewter serving platter - Tin

• The object is made of antique pewter (high-tin alloy). The patina and the dullness are those typical of eighteenth-century artifacts. • The tray is dated 1786 (Late Baroque / Neoclassical). It features three period stamps clearly visible on the surface (an oval cartouche with the year and the master pewterer's monogram, the heraldic crown for quality control of the guild, and a smaller workshop mark). The type of punch marks and the shape of the shaped edge indicate a manufacture from northern France (or Normandy). • The tray shows a beautiful original gray patina, with superficial scratches and small signs of aging consistent with its 240 years of history, which certify its absolute authenticity. A small period defect is noted on the profile of the outer edge (as visible in the detailed photo), consisting of a slight loss/chipping of the metal due to time. There are no modern restorations or welds.
