About the Item

Moroccan Moorish rectangular shape heavy solid brass tray with fine delicate geometrical Islamic designs. Could be used as a serving tray, or decorative Moroccan gold brass platter. Fine handcrafted large Moroccan brass platter hand hammered and chased with Moorish star Islamic designs. Handcrafted by skilled master artisans in Fez Morocco, circa 1940's. Dimensions: Height: 0.75 in Width: 23.5 in Depth: 13.5 in. Condition: Restored polished back to gold. A polished Moroccan brass tray is a stunning piece of traditional craftsmanship that showcases the rich artistic heritage of Morocco. It is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans who specialize in metalwork and imbue each tray with intricate designs and meticulous attention to detail. The tray typically features a rectangular shape, with a slightly raised rim to prevent items from sliding off. The brass material is carefully worked to achieve a smooth and shiny surface, which is then polished to a lustrous finish, enhancing the natural beauty of the metal. One of the distinguishing features of a polished Moroccan brass tray is its exquisite engraving and fine work. The artisans skillfully carve intricate patterns, geometric motifs, or elaborate floral designs onto the surface of the tray. These designs are often inspired by traditional Moroccan architecture, Islamic art, or nature, and reflect the cultural and artistic influences of the region. The tray's design may also incorporate delicate cutouts or perforations, allowing light to pass through and casting beautiful patterns when the tray is placed in the sunlight. This adds an extra element of visual interest and elegance to the overall aesthetic. In addition to the craftsmanship, the tray is often adorned with decorative elements such as brass studs, metal handles, or ornate feet, further enhancing its visual appeal and functionality. These embellishments are carefully integrated into the design, creating a harmonious and balanced composition. Polished Moroccan brass trays are not only decorative but also serve practical purposes. They can be used as serving trays for food and drinks, as decorative display pieces on tables or walls, or as centerpieces for special occasions or gatherings. Their versatility and timeless beauty make them a popular choice for interior design, adding an exotic touch to a wide range of settings. Overall, a polished Moroccan brass tray is a testament to the skill and artistry of Moroccan craftsmen. Its combination of intricate designs, polished surfaces, and decorative elements creates a captivating piece that embodies the rich cultural heritage of Morocco and serves as a stunning focal point in any space.
