Beautiful vintage silver plate cake stand made by Reed & Barton. The pattern is called “King Francis” and was made for a long period of time; it has a scrolled design with clusters of pineapple and other fruits around the rim. The engraved R & B backstamp is on the bottom of the foot and includes the ware number #1687. This piece measures 12″ in diameter across the platform and 4 1/2″ in diameter across the foot, and 5 in height. It has the “plain” platform, with no engraved decoration, and is very hard to find. I gave it a decent polish and it came out very nice, although some might want to get into the detailed fruit clusters with a finer instrument, and the pedestal still has some tarnish. There is light scratching throughout, but the only actual wear to the plate is on the underside, where there are a few black spots. There is no wear to the top of the platform, and this is a gorgeous old piece that could be used not just for serving, but for displaying decorative objects as well!

1950 REED & BARTON KING FRANCIS ORNATE MIDCENTURY ROCOCO LG. CAKE STAND 14 1/2. The Reed & Barton story began in 1824, when Isaac Babbitt created a new metal alloy – “Britannia metal” – in his Taunton, Massachusetts pewter shop. Babbitt joined forces with craftsmen Henry G. Reed and Charles E. Barton to produce this innovative, higher quality pewter ware. When Babbitt encountered financial difficulties, Reed & Barton offered to take control and began manufacturing products under their own names. The fledgling company’s goods reflected uncompromising standards of excellence, starting with its initial silverplate products and extending to the exquisite sterling silver creations that resulted from the silver discoveries of the late 1800s. Rococo inspired king Francis as one of the most sought after designs ever created by the original Reed& Barton company. For your consideration the large chased cake stand in excellent conditions showing no monogram, cuts, wear trough or specks, substantial mirrored platting, solid quality manufacture with detailed raised chased and intricate castings shaping the infamous pattern applied around the cropped borders. It measures 14 1/2″ by 5 1/4″ and 4.6 lbs. Stamped Reed & Barton 1689 King Francis.
