A hand-painted antique toleware tray, featuring a striking floral motif in red, gold, and green against a deep black background. The delicate gold border detailing adds a touch of old-world refinement, while the softened edges and natural wear enhance its timeworn charm.
A Piece with a Story
Toleware painting flourished in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, with artisans hand-decorating tin and metal objects with intricate florals, scrolling patterns, and gilded details. By the late 19th and early 20th century, thinner and lighter forms of toleware were produced, often used for decorative trays, desk accessories, or small serving pieces.
With its floral embellishments and gilt border, this piece carries the grace and artistry of a bygone era—a perfect example of practical elegance.
Details & Condition:
- Material: Hand-painted metal (toleware)
- Dimensions: 16 cm x 20 cm (6.3" x 7.9")
- Condition: Naturally aged patina, with areas of wear and surface oxidation that enhance its antique character.
Perfect for collectors of toleware, lovers of French and English antiques, or those drawn to timeworn decorative objects. Use it as a letter tray, jewellery holder, or an elegant tabletop display, layering it into a curated vignette for a touch of historic charm.
