Exceptionally ornate vintage brass tray featuring richly detailed floral decoration surrounded by an elaborate pierced cast gallery border with scrolling acanthus leaves, floral motifs and Rococo/Baroque-inspired ornamentation.

Unlike simpler one-piece stamped trays, the highly dimensional pierced outer trim on this example is a separate cast component that is mechanically secured to the tray with screws visible from the underside. The substantial openwork border incorporates decorative handles and raised feet, giving the piece an impressive architectural quality and elevated presentation.

The center of the tray is covered with dense embossed floral and foliate decoration, complemented by an additional decorative floral band around the perimeter.

No maker's mark or country-of-origin mark has been found. Based on its construction and decorative treatment, it appears to be a mid-20th-century decorative brass piece, possibly earlier. The design exhibits strong Rococo and Baroque Revival influences; no specific maker or country of origin is attributed.

Measurements:
10" diameter
Approximately 11.5" wide from handle to handle
Approximately 1–1.5" tall

Condition:
Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear, patina, oxidation and variations to the brass finish. The pierced outer gallery remains securely attached to the tray. Please review all photographs carefully, including the underside, as they form an important part of the condition and description.

A striking decorative piece suitable for use as a serving tray, vanity tray, centerpiece, perfume display, candle tray or tabletop accent. # 5295 See less
