Description

This standout square tole tray features a dramatic black lacquered metal background showcasing a lush, hand-painted fruit bouquet of apples, grapes, peaches, and blue berries surrounded by sweeping golden ribbon leaves. The artwork is bold and vibrant with strong contrast against the dark field, and the tray measures approximately 16 inches on its longest side based on the visible tape measure. Condition shows age-appropriate wear including light surface scratching and paint chips consistent with vintage use, but the decorative art remains vivid and eye-catching. A fantastic wall display piece or decorative accent for any farmhouse, cottage, or mid-century inspired space.

The second piece in this lot is a rectangular black tole metal tray fitted with a set of fold-flat gold-tone metal hairpin-style legs, making it a genuine vintage bed tray or lap tray. The top surface carries the same hand-painted fruit motif of apples, grapes, peaches, and blue berries on a glossy black lacquered ground, while the underside reveals the raw metal construction and fold-out leg hardware in good working order. The tray stands approximately 7 to 8 inches tall on its legs based on the ruler shown, and the surface measures approximately 16 inches in length. Light scuffs and wear are present throughout, adding to its authentic mid-century character.
