Floral Elegance: Victorian Brass Gallery Tray with "CR" Maker's Mark
This delightful brass gallery tray embodies the timeless charm that only genuine antiques can offer. Dating likely from the late Victorian or Edwardian period, this finely crafted serving piece features an exquisite pierced gallery rim with a repeating pattern that adds both structural integrity and decorative flair.
The tray is distinguished by its beautiful floral-motif handles on opposite sides, each delicately cast with charming blossoms that speak to the craftsmanship of traditional artisanal methods. The patina has developed a warm, honeyed hue that only comes with age and careful use—each mark and subtle variation telling its own story of convivial afternoon teas and elegant soirées.
Of particular interest to collectors is the clear "CR" maker's mark visible on one handle, indicating its provenance from a skilled artisan's workshop. The shallow, circular form makes it perfect for displaying treasured objects or serving drinks with quintessential British hospitality.
Whether placed on a drawing room side table or used for its original purpose during special gatherings, this heritage piece brings authentic period character to both traditional and contemporary interiors. A lovely example of functional decorative art that continues to charm well into the modern day.
