Etymology

The term 'salver' comes from the Middle English word 'salver', which is derived from the Old French 'salve', meaning a tray or platter, and can be traced back to the Latin word 'salvia', which signifies 'to save' or 'to serve'. Historically, salvers were crafted from various materials, including silver, pewter, and wood, and were commonly used in the dining practices of the British aristocracy. Over the centuries, the design of salvers has evolved, often featuring intricate decorations and engravings that reflected the wealth and status of their owners. In modern usage, salvers continue to hold value in formal dining settings, often used in ceremonies, celebrations, and high-end restaurants to present dishes in an elegant manner.
