Antique Graduated Trio Plate Stand by Sydney Hall & Co.
Silver plate stand by Sydney Hall & Co, Sheffield, circa 1910-1920. Three graduated slots hold dinner, salad, and tea plates. Clean Edwardian lines with a fun nod to Nouveau in the heart-shaped cross brace and arched hoops. It's fun to see something 100 years old that will comfortably jive with today's tableware.
