Antique Arts & Crafts Large Solid Brass Serving Tray. 58.5 x 33cm.
An antique brass serving tray with wrought iron or darkened metal handles. The main body of the tray has a warm, golden tone and features a hand-hammered texture across its central surface, giving it a richly dimpled, artisan appearance. The tray is oval in shape but flares out at both ends where the handles are located, creating a silhouette that resembles an eye or a shallow boat. The rim is smooth and slightly raised, offering a subtle contrast to the textured interior. The handles are made from a different metal, possibly wrought iron or bronze, and are bent into simple rectangular loops that rise above the surface for easy gripping.
Visible patina and minor wear, particularly around the handles and edges, suggest age and use, which adds to its character and antique charm. The design reflects influences from the Arts and Crafts movement, indicating that it dates from the early 20th century.
