1900s French Bronze Tray – Art Nouveau Ivy & Knot Motif

A stunning decorative tray from early 20th-century France, this Art Nouveau bronze piece beautifully exemplifies the organic aesthetics of the era. Rich in detail and presence, it is both a functional object and a work of art.

Crafted in France circa 1900, this tray captures the essence of Art Nouveau with its flowing botanical motifs and sculptural form. The borders are adorned with delicate ivy leaves and berries in high relief, wrapping around a textured central surface mimicking rustic wooden planks secured with simulated metal bands. The handles, designed to resemble tied branches, add a whimsical yet refined touch to the composition.

Made entirely of cast bronze with a gilt finish, the craftsmanship is remarkable, showcasing both artistic and technical mastery. The patina has developed characterful areas of oxidation, lending authenticity and vintage charm.

This piece is ideal for collectors of Art Nouveau or antique bronze wares and would make a striking accent on a console, coffee table, or sideboard.
