A distinguished antique butler’s tray table crafted from aged chestnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail joinery and rich, time-earned patina. Likely English, late 18th to early 19th century, when butler’s trays were essential for refined household service and later adapted as elegant occasional tables. The tray retains its original unpolished underside, appropriate to the period, while subtle reinforcement beneath reflects natural wood movement over centuries—an authentic indicator of age. Black and gold embroidered straps add a decorative campaign-style detail. Complete with its original folding stand, a rarity as trays and bases were often separated over time.
Measurements: Tray 28" L x 20.5" W x 3.75" H; Stand 28.75" H x 22" L x 19.5" W.
