This premium piece features a beautifully shaped, fluid baroque-revival silhouette accented by stylized floral rosettes stamped directly into the elegant end handles. The face of the tray is exceptionally striking, displaying a complex, deeply embossed checkerboard harlequin pattern filled with alternating panels of cream, vivid emerald green, and turquoise blue geometric flower heads, all framed by a wide, vibrant orange-red border band and rich gold leaf detailing. It makes a vibrant, highly collectible statement piece for a festive drinks display, vanity cart, or vintage wall cluster.\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse features the classic lightweight, unlacquered natural wood grain common to authentic Tuscan art workshops of this era.\u003cbr\u003eCondition Report:\u003cbr\u003eThis tray is in good vintage structural condition with no cracks or splits to the wooden form. True to its age and authentic handmade production method, the surface exhibits a wonderful, time-worn character. There are areas of honest wear and minor scuffing, including visible white gesso plaster show-through along the raised edges, ridges, and handles where the paint and gold gilding have naturally thinned over the decades. Please examine the detailed close-up photographs to fully appreciate its unique period patina.\u003cbr\u003eProvenance:\u003cbr\u003eSourced at Sunbury Antiques Market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Nice Old Thing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63764751974730,"sku":"ANT-26-10-01-14-37","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9317\/9722\/files\/IMG_8942.jpg?v=1790861703","url":"https:\/\/aniceoldthing.com\/products\/vintage-italian-florentine-shaped-handle-serving-tray-mid-century-gold-gilt-orange-green-harlequin-salver","provider":"A Nice Old Thing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
