By Colonel Green and his Brother Officers, in acknowledgement of his unremitted EXERTOONS as Mess Secretary for a period of nearly six years during the whole of which times his Conciliatory and Obliging demeanours have so essentially contributed to the HARMONY and well being of the Regimental Mess, December 1842'. The rim of this magnificent sterling silver salver is embellished with a fine and impressive fruiting vine decorated border, accented with large leaf designs and grape clusters. The salver is supported by three cast scroll decorated bracket style feet. This magnificent salver is fitted to the original hinged oak wood presentation box, with a satin and velvet lined interior.

This boxed Indian silver salver embodies fine craftsmanship and rich cultural heritage, making it an exceptional gift for weddings, anniversaries, retirements or corporate presentations. At home, it lends refinement and a sense of tradition when displayed on a sideboard, dining table or within a cabinet. Condition This antique silver salver is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The flat engraved and engraved decoration is all very crisp. The original presentation box shows some indications of wear, in keeping with age. The Indian maker's mark struck to the underside of the salver is very clear.
