Tray - Glass, Wood

A unique, authentic Art Deco-style bar tray dating from the 1930s, most probably produced in France, preserved in its original vintage condition and epitomizing the modernist design of the jazz and cubism era. The item captivates with an avant-garde, asymmetric design, its central part adorned by an intriguing geometric composition of dynamic, parallel black lines crossing the space at angles and a distinctive circular detail, directly referencing suprematist-inspired projects and the Bauhaus school. This striking, modernist ornamentation is applied to a smooth glass surface in a rare pastel shade of light mint green, which harmonizes fluidly with geometric inlays of natural, veneered wood in a deep, warm tone with a clearly defined decorative grain. The entire tray measures 38.5 cm in length, 23.5 cm in width, and 3 cm in height, and is fully integrated; its sides are formed by a solid, moulded solid-wood frame, transitioning into practical, geometrically trimmed handles, while the bottom is finished entirely with natural wood, confirming the craftsmanship quality of the interwar period. The piece bears authentic, natural signs of aging in the form of patina on the wood and small scratches that add incredible character and guarantee its originality, making this tray an excellent decorative element for exclusive mid-century modern interiors and a unique item for discerning collectors of antique artisanal craftsmanship.
