This magnificent hors d'oeuvres tray (or modular cabaret centerpiece) is a piece of high craftsmanship dating back to the 20th century, perfect for elegant serving or adding a touch of classic luxury to the dining room.

Theme and Style: The set is arranged on a large and imposing circular tray, framed by a classic and elegant embossed cording. Inside, six large fan-shaped trays are perfectly housed, arranged radially around a central circular compartment, the latter covered by an elegant silver dome with a contoured handle. Each crystal compartment is finely hand-cut, with thick, faceted edges and a brilliant star-shaped decoration engraved on the bottom.

Material and Finish: The metal structure (tray and lid) is crafted from heavily silver-plated nickel silver (1000 fineness). The bottom of the tray is clearly stamped with hallmarks: the word "ALPACCA," the manufacturer's logo, and the "A.1000" hallmark. The removable inserts are made of pure cut crystal.
