I have recently inherited a "domed venison server" with marks from Elkington Mason & Co which tell me that is silver plate manufactured in 1845. This is an ornate object some 24-25 inches wide and 16-18 inches tall. I've tried to value this but have found no comparisons so far. Any help would be appreciated.

Purchased in the 1960s at the Silver vault. Also has the Dirom family crest and motto "Ducit Dominus" on the dome and the server. I've tried to value this but have found no comparisons so far. Any help would be appreciated.
I will be happy to supply a photograph if desired.

As one of the contributors who occasionally gives estimates here I do not feel able to value this. As you say, comparisons are difficult to find and I feel that a valuation of your venison server would be out of my "comfort zone". Can I invite a response from any of our other contributors who might be willing to try?

Thank you for your response. Please do invite anyone else who might be able to help. I took a photograph of the server, but it is not a very good one. I'll post the one I have later today, and have someone else take a better one to post as well.
