A substantial silver-plated serving platter in the Chippendale style, manufactured by Towle. The platter features a generous oval shape with a gadrooned rim, four scrolled feet, and two handles adorned with intricate foliate and floral designs. The platter's surface is further embellished with a central floral and scrollwork motif, adding to its elegant appeal.
The platter measures approximately 22" length, 16" width, and 3" height. The total width handle to handle is 24". Marked "Towle EP 2967"
Very good vintage condition with minimal wear and light tarnish consistent with age. The silver plating is well-preserved, and all decorative details are crisp and clear. The handles are securely attached, and the feet show no signs of damage. The underside of the platter exhibits an even patina with no major dents or corrosion.
From a prominent Cookeville, TN Estate.
