This French silver-plated and mahogany tray dates from the 1950s–1960s, reflecting the mid-century modern and Art Deco revival trends of that era. The elegant simplicity, quality materials, and functional design influences of Christofle, Puiforcat, or Jean Després—all known for refined craftsmanship and blending modernist design with luxurious materials.

Measuring 2.5 inches high, 20.5 inches long, and 11 inches wide, this tray is perfectly sized for serving beverages, displaying collectibles, or adding a refined accent to any room.

This elegant French tray combines the warmth of mahogany wood with the sleek sophistication of silver-plated accents, resulting in a timeless and refined design. The rectangular form is subtly curved along the longer edges, softening the geometric structure and adding a sense of fluidity. The rich, mahogany surface displays beautiful natural grain patterns, providing warmth and visual texture.

The silver-plated handles, located at each end of the tray, are designed in a streamlined, stepped form that reflects Art Deco influences with their clean, geometric lines. The silver-plated rails running parallel along the curved sides add both visual balance and functional practicality, preventing items from sliding off. The combination of luxurious materials and sleek modernist lines suggests a piece created with both utility and aesthetic sophistication in mind. Ready to place and use. See less
