Antique Oak Butler Tray

Item Description

With this antique butler's tray, you can conveniently enjoy refreshments in any room of your home. Handmade in England around 1920, the tray remains as beautiful as ever, with a lovely patina, a rich complexion and distinct quartersawn oak grain. The shape itself is quite elegant, while its fold-up design means that you can easily store the tray when not in use. Each corner features hand-cut dovetails, which indicates that this tray was very well made, as such a trait is uncommon, even in antiques. It has sustained the normal assortment of surface wear marks, including a superficial separation between the boards in the tray itself. These types of separations occur in all solid wood furniture as time passes. The tray also wobbles a bit when deployed, although it is mostly quite firm and therefore remains in very good overall condition.
