Details
A charming French stainless steel tray or bowl with a softly moulded scalloped border and a gently recessed centre, its form lifted directly from the silverware tradition. Lightweight yet substantial in character, this is a piece that earns its place on a dressing table, a bedside, an entryway ledge, or a desk. A resting place for rings, keys, a folded note, or the small treasures of daily life. Styled here with a stack of antique cartes postales and a pair of brass scissors, it speaks immediately to the romance of a well-lived French interior.
Listing is for one tray. Edition 1 of 1.

Material
Stainless steel
Style
This tray belongs to the mid-20th century French tradition of translating classical silverware forms into stainless steel, giving everyday domestic objects an elegance that transcends their material. The scalloped profile and moulded border are drawn directly from earlier silverplate and pewter pieces, reinterpreted here with a modernist restraint. Unpretentious and deeply French in character.
