Round Art Deco Veneer Tray, 1930s

Description

Elegant, original round Art Deco tray dating from the 1930s.

The tray is made of dark, decorative veneer with a pronounced grain. Its distinctive feature is a geometric composition of metal strips forming a cross-shaped motif on the surface of the tray. The piece is finished with a wide, slightly raised rim with a rounded profile.
The simple, geometric form and combination of dark wood with metal elements perfectly reflect the aesthetics of European Art Deco from the interwar period.
The tray can be used both for its original purpose and as a decorative interior accessory — on a coffee table, chest of drawers, or console table.
