An oval black tole tray featuring a hand-painted heraldic crest at its center. The lacquered surface has developed a rich, timeworn patina that enhances its character, while the painted shield retains its detailed form and vibrant red coloration. The rolled rim and subtle wear speak to its utilitarian past and enduring craftsmanship.

“This is the kind of tray that anchors a vignette—great on a console, bar, or ottoman.”

England, circa 1880
