Silver Plates/Underplates
Antique silver plates can be used as serving or dinner plates. Very often, plates are decorated with a coat of arms (from earlier proprietors) or with monograms. In their actual form – with a deep well in the middle – plates have been used in Europe since the sixteenth century, originally only by aristocrats. Later, silver plates became an important part of the dinner service of private and upscale households.
