Stock number: 20C090


A wonderful large Edwardian silver Art Nouveau dressing table tray, embossed with outstanding floral decoration.

The border consists of a series of embossed interconnecting scrolls. The inner part of the tray is beautifully embossed with leaves and flowers.

This is a marvellous example of the bold Art Nouveau movement of the period. This tray was designed to lay on a dressing table to hold pins, perfume bottles and brushes.

'Art Nouveau' is the name given to a style of decoration that was born in Paris in the 1880s and was popular throughout Europe for more than twenty years. It grew from a revolt against the rigid designs of mass- production, and featured fre-flowing curving lines with natural patterns such as intertwining flowers, scrolls and butterflies. Eventually its extravagance led to its own demise during the First World War.


This marvellous large Edwardian silver Art Nouveau dressing table tray was made in 1905 by Lee & Wigfull.
Length: 15 3/4 ins (40 cm)
