Two-piece antique Edwardian walnut wood set dating to 1900–1910, comprising an oval hand-carved presentation tray and a round-lidded box, in excellent condition with authentic patina; tray 32 cm x 23.5 cm, box height 8 cm.
Description from the seller
An exceptionally beautiful, two-piece ensemble of noble solid wood is for sale, consisting of an oval Presentation Tray (Hand-Tray) and a matching round lidded box. Both pieces originate from the early 20th century and can be stylistically and technically perfectly classified in the Edwardian era (Prince Edward’s time, around 1901–1910) / late Art Nouveau.
The set is distinguished by the use of high-quality, heavy walnut wood, known for its expressive, lively grain and excellent durability.
• The tray: The surrounding rim is masterfully crafted by hand and decorated with a pierced, plastically carved grapevine and leaf motif. The two integrated carrying handles are elegantly shaped. On the underside there are two classic rabbet boards, secured with period-typical original slotted screws. These boards have successfully prevented warping of the wood for over a century.
• The lidded box: The box reveals a different, fascinating facet of wood art. It features geometric chip carving and a central rosette on the lid. A special eye-catcher is the delicately worked, serrated upper edge of the box. The inner surfaces and the bottom are smoothly lathed, beautifully showcasing the golden-brown walnut grain.
In very good antique condition. For genuine solid-wood objects that are well over 100 years old, the preservation state is absolutely exceptional:
• The tray is completely flat (not warped) and the wood shows no cracks.
• No flaws or breaks in the delicate carvings (all leaves and the fine serrations on the box are intact).
• No woodworm infestation.
• Beautiful, authentic patina with a silky sheen.
Dimensions / Details:
• Material: Real walnut heartwood (solid wood)
• Tray dimensions: Length 32 cm x Width 23.5 cm
• Box dimensions: Height 8 cm (including handle)
• Epoch: Early 20th century (Edwardian / Art Nouveau)
• Total weight: noticeably heavy with a very premium feel
A fantastic collector’s ensemble for lovers of fine Treenware (historic wood art) and antique interiors.
