This successful combination of the practicality of stainless steel and finely chased arabesques and scrollwork is by Alessi, the renowned Italian brand that has been a leading name in homeware production for over a century. The company has received numerous Compasso d'Oro awards thanks to its collaborations with some of the most important designers and artists, including Ettore Sottsass, Enzo Mari, Luigi Massoni, and Alessandro Mendini.

Made in Italy and dating to the 1970s, this tray has never been used, as can be seen in the photographs. Thanks to its original packaging, we have been able to identify the exact model: Impero 710 40.

Its minimalist design and refined yet playful ornamentation make it both a functional serving piece and an elegant decorative object.

The tray measures 50 cm wide, 30 cm deep, and 2 cm high.

The tray is in like-new condition. See less
