Painted tray table with hand-painted peacock and floral garden scene. Its scalloped top and substantial square legs create a striking balance of delicacy and presence.
Evoking the charm of 19th-century English papier-mâché, this lacquered black tray table features a delicately scalloped edge and gilt scrollwork. The top is hand-painted with a classical garden scene"”a peacock perched beside an urn, framed by flowers and distant hills"”rendered in softly aged tones of green, gold, and blue. The tray rests on a custom-fitted stand with a shaped apron and handsome square legs"”a design choice that gives the piece a satisfying visual weight and contrast to the romantic painting above. The result is a table that feels both decorative and grounded, at home in traditional and eclectic interiors alike.
