The tray features beautifully modeled organic floral handles and softly contoured edges, showcasing the flowing, nature-inspired design language that defined Jugendstil decorative arts.

Crafted from high-quality pewter marked “Zinn 95%”, this piece reflects the superior material standards used by leading German workshops of the era. Additional stamped marks on the underside further confirm its early 20th-century European origin. The generous rectangular form and substantial weight give it an impressive presence, making it ideal for use as a coffee table tray, bar tray, or decorative accent.

The surface shows authentic age-appropriate wear, including light scratches and a soft matte patina, consistent with over a century of use. These details add character and should be preserved rather than polished away.

A timeless decorative object that works beautifully in Art Nouveau, traditional, eclectic, or modern interiors.
