Electroplated Galleried Tray
Martin Hall & Co.
Retailed by Edmond Johnson
Circa 1860

This Victorian electroplated galleried tray exemplifies the craftsmanship and refined aesthetic of Martin Hall & Co., one of the foremost silver and electroplate manufacturers of the 19th century. The tray features a finely pierced gallery, a reflective surface perfect for display and elegant floral etchings that harmonize function with luxury. It is marked "EPGS" for Electro Plated German Silver, a material developed in Germany but popularized internationally for its durability and shining appearance. Likely retailed by Edmond Johnson, Dublin’s celebrated silversmith and jeweler, the waiter represents the collaboration of two esteemed makers.

Martin Hall & Co. was renowned for producing high-quality silver and electroplated goods, showcased at prestigious exhibitions including the Great Exhibition of 1851. The firm’s products were retailed globally, reflecting their international acclaim. Edmond Johnson, a prominent Dublin silversmith, further elevated the tray’s pedigree with his association, known for his craftsmanship and design of iconic Irish treasures like the Liam McCarthy Cup. Additionally, this tray was a part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
