About the Item
This striking Art Deco folding tray, crafted by Manning Bowman in America circa 1935, is an enduring example of the Machine Age's innovative design and modernist aesthetics. Signed by the renowned American manufacturer known for its high-quality industrial designs, this tray showcases the seamless union of functionality and bold styling characteristic of the Art Deco era.
Constructed from polished chrome, the tray boasts durability and a reflective finish that epitomizes the streamlined elegance of the period.
