About the Item

Large vintage Asian handcrafted round tray with a patina from the 1950s. The tray features a hanging hook, allowing it to be displayed on a wall or placed flat as a centerpiece on a table. Its surface is adorned with intricate oriental symbols, including engravings of dragons, animals, flowers, and birds. The central area showcases Asian calligraphy writing. This round metal brass tray, imported from Asia, was meticulously hammered, chiseled, and engraved with scenes of dragons, wildlife, and foliage, accompanied by Chinese calligraphy. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, these trays add warmth to any room. Doris Duke incorporated these trays into numerous rooms of her Moroccan Moorish palace, Shangri La, in Hawaii. With its Chinoiserie Hollywood Regency style this vintage brass holds collector's value and serves as an exquisite round metal wall decoration. Its Chinese Export style Metalwork exemplifies excellent craftsmanship, while the vintage tray's restoration and front polishing maintain its allure. Over time, the tray will develop a natural patina, preserving its historical charm. The back, intentionally left uncleaned, showcases the tray's age. Crafted by hand in Hong Kong. The tray measures 35.25 inches in diameter and reflects the distinctive Chinese Export style.
