About the Item
A beautifully preserved sterling silver oval tray by the Grogan Company, a firm long respected for its refined American silverwork of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Executed in solid sterling silver, this tray exemplifies the quiet elegance and craftsmanship that defined formal entertaining in the Edwardian era.
The tray features a hand-hammered surface, giving it a soft, shimmering texture that catches the light without overpowering the eye—a hallmark of quality silverwork rather than factory-flat production. Encircling the rim is an exquisitely hand-engraved border of flowing foliate scrolls and classical motifs, meticulously cut with balance and restraint. The engraving is crisp and deeply struck, indicating skilled hand labor rather than later machine work.
At the center is a finely engraved intertwined monogram, rendered in an ornate script that speaks to private commissions and family provenance. On the reverse, the tray is clearly marked “Grogan Company – Sterling” along with the original production number, confirming authenticity and period manufacture. Of particular charm is the engraved presentation date: “August 4, 1914,” anchoring the piece firmly in history—created at a moment when formal silver still played a central role in daily and ceremonial life.
This tray would have been intended for formal service—calling cards, tea service accompaniments, or presentation use—yet today it stands equally well as a decorative object or heirloom display piece. It carries the kind of dignified wear one hopes to see: gentle surface marks consistent with age, but no distractions from its beauty or integrity. In other words, it has lived a life, and worn it well—rather like a good tuxedo.
A timeless example of early 20th-century American sterling, rich in character, history, and traditional craftsmanship—when silver was made to last, and elegance was never rushed.
