His smile is like the silver plate on a coffin.

Summary

This quote suggests that the person's smile is deceptive and masks something unpleasant or sinister beneath. Just as a silver plate on a coffin may appear shiny and attractive, the smile may initially seem genuine or pleasant, but it conceals a hidden darkness or negativity. It implies that there is something disturbing or unsettling about the person's true intentions or character that contradicts the outward appearance they portray.
