Everything about Salver totally explained
A
salver is a flat
tray of
silver or other
metal used for carrying or serving
glasses,
cups and
dishes at table or for the presenting of a
letter or
card by a
servant. In a royal or
noble household the fear of
poisoning led to the custom of tasting the food or drink before it was served to the master and his guests; this was known as the
assay of
meat and drink, and in
Spanish was called salva. Salvar is to preserve from risk, from the
Latin salvare, to save. The term salva was also applied to the dish or tray on which the food or drink was presented after the tasting process. There seems no doubt that this Spanish word is the source of the
English salver; a parallel is found in the origin of the term
credenza.
