Description from the seller
Beautifully large Hand-Carved Art Deco Teak Serving Tray with Brass Handles.
A beautifully hand-carved wooden serving tray in authentic Art Deco style, dating from the early 20th century.
Crafted from solid teak wood with superb floral and geometric ornamentation, this tray shows the refined craftsmanship typical of the Asian colonies (likely Indonesia or Ceylon) where such decorative household items were produced for the Dutch and German markets around the start of the 20th century..
The design reflects the organic yet symmetrical aesthetic that defined the Art Deco movement, emphasizing nature-inspired motifs and masterful hand carving. The detailed rosettes and fan-carved floral and butterflies patterns catch the light wonderfully, highlighting the warm dark tones of the polished teak surface.
Fitted with original brass handles and a robust wooden frame with gently scalloped edges — a wonderful combination of elegance and durability.
Dimensions: 47 x 37 cm (52 cm including brass handles)
Material: Teak wood with brass handles
Condition: In great pre-loved condition, no discoloration, solid joints, waxed and polished, ready for use or display
A true eye-catcher in your home or office — both decorative and functional, representing the craftsmanship of the colonial era.
