"Antique Arts & Crafts Mahogany Tray With Carved Fruiting Branch And Pomegranate Design, 1890s"
This finely crafted antique Arts & Crafts mahogany serving tray, dating to the 1890s, features a deeply carved relief design of intertwining fruiting branches, leaves, and stems. The composition is dominated by rounded fruit forms, possibly apples or pomegranates, nestled among broad, veined leaves, creating a richly organic pattern. The surface is enhanced with a textured stippled background, contrasting with the smooth, polished high-relief carving.The tray is bordered by a raised, scalloped gallery with serpentine edges, giving a graceful undulating silhouette. The base is solid and smoothly finished, showing visible aged patina and wear consistent with its age and use.A beautiful example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, combining both decorative artistry and functional design in the true spirit of the Arts & Crafts movement.
