About the Item

Condition: Original Vintage Condition This sculptural brass duck tray is a charming example of Mid-Century Modern decorative design, blending function with playful form. Crafted in solid brass, the piece was designed to serve as a small catchall or serving tray, often placed on a bar cart, console, or coffee table to hold snacks, keys, or personal items. Its streamlined silhouette, softly modeled details, and gently patinated surface reflect the era’s fascination with organic shapes drawn from nature. The hollowed body functions as the tray itself, while the elongated neck and tail create a balanced, sculptural presence when displayed. Whether used practically or simply admired as an object, this piece adds warmth, character, and a touch of whimsy to any interior. Fun Historical Fact During the 1950s and 1960s, animal-inspired brass objects became popular accents in American homes, reflecting the Mid-Century Modern movement’s interest in nature and approachable design. Brass was favored not only for its durability but also for its warm tone, which complemented teak, walnut, and other woods commonly used at the time. Decorative trays like this were often found in living rooms and cocktail areas, aligning with the rise of casual entertaining and home bar culture. Over time, the natural patina that develops on brass has become especially prized, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind character.
