This Art Deco tray, crafted in America circa 1935, is a striking example of the era’s sleek geometry and bold material contrasts. Its centerpiece is an exquisite reverse églomisé design, featuring a crisp blue and white geometric motif that evokes the streamlined elegance of the machine age.
Framed in polished nickel, the tray’s reflective surface complements the intricate églomisé artwork while adding an industrial edge typical of Art Deco design. The standout features, however, are the skyscraper-inspired Bakelite handles, sculpted to resemble the tall, vertical forms that define the architectural aesthetic of the period. These handles not only emphasize visual drama but also serve as tactile flair, blending a sense of modern innovation with functional purpose.
Sleek yet dynamic, this tray conjures images of glamorous interiors from the 1930s, where form and function met effortlessly. Whether displayed as an accent piece or used for entertaining, it embodies the essence of Art Deco sophistication while remaining timeless in its appeal. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
