About this product
Silver Plated Tea Tray by Broggi, Italy Mid to Late 20th Century
The firm has its origins in Melegnano, near Milan in 1900 as a continuation of the activity of the cutler Giambattista Izar, existing since 1818. In 1956 it was merged with that of the silversmith Gaetano Broggi taking the name of Broggi Izar and it was also listed on the stock exchange until 1984. The company produced cutlery for all the ruling houses of Europe and for the large ocean liners, including the Andrea Doria, employing over 500 workers until the industrial activities were discontinued.
