Fine 19th Century Papier Mache Tray On Stand
About the Item
An Exceptional Quality Mid 19th Century Papier Mache Tray On Stand, Or Coffee Table, The Rectangular Removable Tray With Superb Hand Painted And Gilded Decoration To Black And Green Ground Backgroung, Housed On Later Turned Leg Stand.
Stamped “James Shoolbred & Co, Tottenham Court Road”.
Dated March 1875.
This fantastic quality papier mache tray is one of the nicest we have seen in a long while with quite exceptional decoration and its a great size as well. The stand which it has been mounted upon is of modern construction as is common practice, meaning that the tray now has a purpose and function as well as being particularly beautiful.
James Shoolbred formed his company Shoolbred & Co, initially at 153 Tottenham Court Road around 1817. The company quickly grew through various partnerships and by the time of James Snr’s death in 1862 his sons were working in the business wih him and pushing forward their expansion plans. In fact by 1876 they were listed in The Furniture Gazette Directory as operating from four locations across London, including 151 – 158 Tottenham Court Road which covered 1.75 acres alone with a frontage of 250ft. A large amount of the stock which they retailed was manufactured in their own workshops, although naturally when running an operation of this size not all of it could be made in house.
Using the diamond registration mark system which was in place in England from 1842 – 1883, we are able to date the manufature of this tray to March 1875.

Georgian Mahogany Oval Butlers Tray on Stand
Located in Bedfordshire, GB
A very good quality late 18th century, Georgian period, mahogany oval butlers tray of Panelled design, retaining original brass hinges to folding sides with pierced carrying handles, raised on later square leg mahogany stand.
During the 18th and 19th centuries a coffee table was not what we regard as a coffee table in the 21st century. Coffee tables back then were always full height, effectively side tables. The modern, low, coffee table is really something which began to be seen during the early 20th century onwards.
Based on the above there is a variety of different methods to incorporate a coffee table into an interior for people who wish to furnish their properties with genuine antique furniture, whilst still allowing for the practicalities and function which is required in modern times.
Therefore as is now normal with by far the majority of these butlers trays which we see, due to the fact they make absolutely perfect coffee tables, this has been removed from its original, tall, folding stand at some point and fitted onto a lower, more practical and sturdy stand constructed from old antique wood. It’s worth noting that generally this means an old broken table...

A Good Quality And Unusually Small Georgian Mahogany Butlers Tray, Of Diminutive Proportion, Having Elegant Shaped Sides With Pierced Carrying Handles And Well Figured Top, Housed On Later Square Chamfered Leg Mahogany Stand.
During the 18th and 19th centuries a coffee table was not what we regard as a coffee table in the 21st century. Coffee tables back then were always full height, effectively side tables. The modern, low, coffee table is really something which began to be seen during the early 20th century onwards.
Based on the above there is a variety of different methods to incorporate a coffee table into an interior for people who wish to furnish their properties with genuine antique furniture, whilst still allowing for the practicalities and function which is required in modern times.
Therefore it is now incredibly common to find 18th and 19th century trays of varying shape, size and design utilised as coffee tables. As with all the others that we have seen this particular tray has been fitted onto a low, practical and sturdy stand constructed from old antique wood. It’s worth noting that generally this means an old broken table...
