Each tray features a beautifully rendered hand painted armorial coat of arms at its center, with richly colored shields, heraldic lions, elaborate mantling, and traditional crests creating the appearance of treasured pieces from a European country house collection. The two coordinating yet individually decorated armorial designs make the pair especially attractive when displayed together.

Each tray measures approximately 7.5 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and 1.5 inches high. Good vintage condition with no chips or damage. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

The crisp white porcelain provides a wonderful backdrop for the detailed heraldic decoration, while an elegant gold border traces the perimeter of each tray. A repeating gilt motif along the inner edge adds another layer of classical ornament and gives the pieces a particularly polished, sophisticated appearance. Their shallow rectangular form is both decorative and practical, making them ideal as catchall dishes for jewelry, cufflinks, keys, coins, or other small treasures.

With their combination of heraldry, porcelain, and gold decoration, these trays would be especially at home in an English country, traditional library, gentleman's study, Grand Tour, or old-world inspired interior. They would look equally striking displayed on a desk, dresser, entry table, bar, or coffee table, either used for storage or simply enjoyed as decorative objects.

A wonderfully decorative vintage pair with timeless European character and an elegant collected-over-time aesthetic. See less
