Antique Silver-Plated Cake Server with Initial O, Alpaca – Austria c. 1900, Art Nouveau Era

A very beautiful, richly decorated antique silver-plated cake server. Probably alpaca (nickel silver); there is no hallmark. At its center is a large initial "O" – likely a reference to its first owner.

Uses

As a decorative or collector's piece, but just as fitting for everyday use at the coffee table.

Who It's For

Care

Hand wash and dry immediately.

At the Scouts' flea market in Zwettl it lay among old spoons. The ornate "O" made us wonder who it once belonged to.
