This oversized, large and 100% hand made tray will give you all the Art Deco feels. It was beautifully made by Palmer-Smith from aluminum. The tray is large and round in shape with an overall subtle hammered texture that gives a stunning shine when light hits. It was then adorned with a super art deco wheat motif (one of Palmer-Smith's most famous) that radiates from the center of the piece. This versatile piece could be used to serve cocktails, serve as a centerpieces, or to display your favorite treasures. The underside has an authentic Palmer-Smith marking and is numbered 167.

About the craftsman / designer:
All Palmer-Smith aluminum ware was made before the outbreak of WWII. As with the entire aluminum giftware industry, the Palmer-Smith forge had to close during the WWII demand for aluminum, and it did not reopen afterwards although the Palmer-Smith line was continued in a new field: that of beautiful linens and a group of other accessories. WWII brought mass production into the hammered aluminum field and made possible the flooding of the market with these products. Although very attractive items continued to be made, many collectors insist they can feel the difference: that they can sense the presence of those long-ago artisans!

Great antique condition with minor surface ware consistent with age. No structural damages.
