About the Item

Superb Napoleon III period tray, crafted in black lacquered metal, richly decorated with gilt motifs, characteristic of the refined decorative taste of the 19th century. Of shaped form, this tray is distinguished by its finely detailed central ornamental motif, framed by an elegant gilt Greek key border running along the entire edge. The decorated side handles complete the composition and enhance its refined and decorative character. The deep, glossy black lacquer beautifully highlights the gilt decoration, giving the tray a strong visual presence. This piece perfectly reflects the craftsmanship of the Napoleon III era, a period renowned for its richly ornamented utilitarian objects. Condition: Good overall condition for its age. Visible signs of use, light scratches and age-related wear are present, consistent with the period and contributing to its authentic charm. Ideal as a serving tray, decorative object, or display piece on a table, console or guéridon. Perfect for a classic or Haussmann-style interior, or to add an elegant contrast to a more contemporary décor. A beautiful and timeless antique object, emblematic of 19th-century refinement.
