This appears to be a Victorian-style decorative brass charger or wall plate, likely late 19th to early 20th century, with a central hunting scene of riders and hounds and an elaborate foliate border. The design and surface darkening are consistent with age, but the overall look is more commercial decorative metalwork than fine period silver. Based on the single photo, I would keep the auction estimate conservative at roughly $50 to $150 if authentic period decorative metalware, or $25 to $75 if a later reproduction.

Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
Likely a decorative Victorian Revival charger rather than a rare antique silver plate. The chased and embossed ornament is attractive, but the uniform finish and commercial look suggest a mass-produced late 19th or early 20th century piece.

Condition:
Good (visible surface wear and darkening, not officially graded)
Identification Score: 78%
The horse-and-hound sporting scene and ornate border clearly identify it as a decorative charger or wall plate, though the exact maker and country are not visible.
Authenticity Score: 48%
The piece shows age-consistent toning and wear, but the finish looks commercially produced and I cannot confirm it as a higher-value period metalwork object from the single front photo.
