A stunning 18th-century antique butler’s tray with its original stand, crafted from solid chestnut wood. Designed to hold refreshments, this ever-adaptable form can be easily transported and stored. Exposed dovetail joinery. Pierced carrying handles on all four sides. The underside of the tray is unpolished as appropriate for the time period produced. The bottom of the tray has been reinforced with new hardware to treat the shrinkage of the wood....which is a true testament to the wood's age. Black and gold embroidered straps.
In the 20th century people frequently used these as low tables, and the original stand would often disappear. It is rare to find both the original antique pieces together like this one.
Measurements:
Tray- Length 28 in, Width 20.5 in, Height 3.75 in
Stand- Height 28.75 in, Length 22 in, Width 19.5 in
