Description

An early 19th century Butlers Tray on Folding Stand. Made of dense Georgian mahogany, it is of exceptional quality. The large front loading tray has curved front corners and shaped sides, softening the angular nature of the whole piece. Unusually, the tray sits on the stand with the ends of the stand protruding(ensuring that, visually, the tray is always securely in the correct position on the bearers?) The stand has carved chamfered legs, and a brass tightening wing bolt for extra strength. A piece of furniture that carried precious items, now an antique with a rich colour and fine original surface. Circa 1830
