The surface of each salver retains the contemporary engraved coat of arms displaying a saltire charged with a rose of the field, barbed and seeded**.

These heraldic markings are accented with two opposing demi-figures and conjoined via a garland with a central mask motif to the nadir.

Each salver is further ornamented with a paralleling engraved strapwork style border, incorporating scrolling leaf designs and an individual portrait illustration to each corner, all encompassed with a lattice-work pattern.

The raised rounded borders are plain and embellished with an applied moulded decoration to the rim.
