About the Item
This 19th-century serving tray exemplifies Qing-dynasty refinement with simplicity of form and an emphasis on natural materials. Crafted of a darkly colored hardwood, the elegant tray would have been used for serving tea, storing opium accessories or displaying a scholar's collection of fine calligraphy tools. Devoid of ornamentation, the rectangular tray is decorated only by rounded edging, dovetail corner joints and the beautiful patterning of the wood grain.
