Description from the seller
Large 1970s design tray in thuja burl and inlays of precious woods – 40.5 cm
A refined design tray dating from the 1970s, crafted with a beautiful juxtaposition of thuja burl and different wood essences, characterized by a decorative workmanship particularly rich and scenographic.
The surface features a splendid diagonal lattice geometrical composition, obtained by alternating the warm, lively figuring of the burl with thin light-toned wood strips. At the intersections, small contrasting linear inserts also appear, a detail that lends rhythm and great elegance to the whole composition.
Particularly fascinating is the thuja burl, chosen in portions with very pronounced grains, with knots and natural flame patterns that make each section of the top different from the others. The glossy surface further enhances the depth and nuances of the wood.
The structure presents two tall, shaped side rails with handles carved directly into the wood, while the longer, lower sides maintain the object's slender and light profile. The bottom also shows an entirely wooden construction and preserves the natural characteristics of the material.
Dimensions: approximately 40.5 × 27 × 4.4 cm.
A decorative object of notable presence, representative of the taste for exotic woods, burl, and geometric compositions typical of interior design in the second half of the twentieth century. In addition to its original function as a service tray, today it lends itself especially well as a centerpiece, a large catch-all, or decorative element on a table, sideboard, credenza, or bar cabinet.
The natural irregularities, knots, and color variations belong to the wood; there are also minor marks and imperfections compatible with age and use, clearly documented in the photographs. Overall it retains a beautiful aesthetic presence.
