Chinese Tea Tray with Ridged Sides, c. 1900

About the Item

Dated to the late 19th century, this elegant tea tray charms with clean lines, fine materials, and balanced proportions. Used as a surface for preparing and serving tea, the tray has a tiered top and hand-carved ridged sides concealing three shallow drawers.

Whether used as a desktop organizer or a place to stow odds and ends, this rosewood tray elevates its surroundings with effortless simplicity. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
