Context
John Houle was an accomplished London silversmith of the early 19th century, producing silver that reflected the elegant yet bold taste of the Regency era. Large meat dishes and serving trays such as this were central to the formal dining table, prized for both their utility and their ability to display wealth and status. The combination of substantial weight, crisp shell ornament, and finely executed gadrooning makes this tray a distinguished example of period craftsmanship.
