Description:
This is a fine quality antique Italian Victorian Sorrento Ware olive wood marquetry inlaid butlers’ tray on a bobbin turned folding stand, circa 1880, in good original condition. This style of tray and level of marquetry detail, would suggest that is originates from Italy. It was probably introduced to England after the grand tour, when wealthy aristocrats would travel to Italy and return with souvenirs, to be used in in wealthy houses for serving drinks and displaying items. It boasts a tray, with a raised moulded border and ebony string inlaid border, incorporating marquetry inlay of four house martin birds in mid-flight, with a painted inscription in the centre: “Nous Reviendrons” (we will return), constructed from satinwood, box and olive wood. The initials “T. H.” are inscribed into the top right corner of the tray, which was most likely the initials of the person who had the tray and stand commissioned for them. The tray retains its original hinged olive wood side carrying handles. The tray sits on fine quality bobbin turned hinged legs, secured by three webbed straps, retaining the original pins, with a central bobbin turned stretcher for added strength.
This tray is a truly classic example of Italian Sorrento ware from the Victorian period. The level of detail and craftsmanship displayed in this piece makes it a stunning wooden work of art. It is rare to see an example, which not only is in excellent condition but is also completely original.
The tray features a mellow olive wood colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. This truly is a very beautiful item with quality construction and is original throughout. It is rare to see one in such good condition.
This item would look superb in a variety of rooms from the hallway to living or dining room. This item would certainly grace any home or office and a great investment, as they are an extremely functional. So don’t miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.
