19c Repousse Nouveau Birds Roses Hand Chased Sterling Silver Charger Plate

Description

Piece:
Charger (to be placed under a plate) Gorgeous Repousse birds, roses, flowers, chain links and swags on stippled backdrop.
Maker:
Unmarked - Tested positive for silver, but don't know what purity. It weighs 17.2 troy ounces and the center when made was a separate piece soldered to intricate repousse hand chased edge.
Condition:
Excellent overall with just a visible line seam in one area by edge (see two closeup photos of same spot from different angles, and one from back side to show a solder in that area on underside.) At an angle on this area of pattern there might be a neatly soldered line, so perhaps made in pieces? The edge where smooth bowl attaches to edge underneath has minor color variation visible in photos from solder process when made. Bottom has some surface scuffs from shelf wear, but no copper or other base metal showing, so believe to be solid. Top side is nice.
Size:
center is about 6 3/4" across with edge 2 1/4" wide. So total width including both edges is about 11 1/2" across.
