The Floral Landscape Gallery Trays

A set of two oval gallery trays from the early 1900s, each with a polychrome transfer-printed ceramic panel set in a pierced, silver-toned metal gallery with looped handles and small ball feet. The larger tray carries a distinctive pattern: a grey landscape of a house among trees, framed by poppies and daisies. The ceramic is creamy and glossy, the metal softly toned with age.

The smaller tray, with a loose bouquet of poppies and marguerites, is an unusual size, a petite companion to the larger one. Metal-framed ceramic trays in the Art Nouveau and Secessionist taste were made across Central Europe and France in the early twentieth century, when printed floral decoration brought colour to the table.

The pair layers well on a sideboard, dresser or bedside table, the smaller tray resting inside the larger. Condition and patina consistent with age. Larger tray: 15.7 x 12.2 x 1.6 in (40 x 31 x 4 cm). Smaller tray: 9.4 x 5.5 x 1.2 in (24 x 14 x 3 cm).
