Details
A French stainless-steel serving tray with a softly contoured edge and gentle, undulating corners - a modern interpretation of traditional silverware forms. Its surface shows a lived-in sheen that speaks to decades of use: morning coffees and teas, aperitif glasses, Canapés and cheese. It moves easily through the home from serving to styling to everyday routines. Beautiful layered beneath glassware, candles, or a simple vignette.
Listing is for one tray.
Edition 1 of 1.
Size
40 x 28.5cm
Material
Stainless Steel
Style
This tray reflects mid-20th-century French domestic design, where stainless steel began to echo the silhouettes of earlier silverplated objects. The result is a piece that blends utility with soft ornament, practical, sculptural, and endlessly adaptable. Its form nods delicately to Rococo curves, reinterpreted through a modern, minimalist material.
Provenance
France, mid-20th Century
Condition
Well-Loved Condition - Pieces with visible signs of age and character. Marks, wear or fading that tell their story and form part of their charm. For those who love the poetry of timeworn beauty. There is a central area or patina to the tray and small markings throughout, this does not detract from the beauty, rather enhances it so the steel looks worn and lived in.

A Note on Character & Age
Each vintage and antique piece in our collection carries its own history - a quiet record of time, craftsmanship, and use. These are not new items; their gentle imperfections, subtle marks, and rich patina are part of what make them unique and beautiful.
We see these characteristics not as flaws, but as evidence of a life well-lived - the depth and texture that only age can bestow. Minor variations from the images may occur, reflecting each piece’s singular story. Unless otherwise stated, all sales are final.
