Object Description
A Very Attractive And Rare Mid 19th Century Papier
Mache Tray With Unusual Red Lacquered And Gilded
Floral Decoration Fixed Onto Elegant Later Swivel Stand
(What better way to look after the environment than to
recycle beautiful, old, antique objects with little purpose
in the modern world and give them a new purpose. Thats
exactly what’s happened to this pretty little Papier Mache
tray. It is now a very attractive and very functional coffee table
or even just side table.
This particular tray is quite rare having the red lacquered
and gilded decoration as opposed to the normal black
background which is found on by far the majority. It is
large enough to be functional and in excellent condition with
just the usual old marks and scratches, scuffs and dents that
are to be expected in an object of this age.)
