Description
Large Art Nouveau gold leaf hand-painted tole tea tray. Exquisitely painted in gold leaf leaves around pearlescent magnolia flowers and buds. At almost 20 inches across, this piece is truly one of a kind and displays beautifully on a stand or table, or could be displayed on the wall with a plate hanger. Signed R.B. Hendrix and dated 1956 next to note to the artist's daughter.
PLEASE NOTE: the actual color of the tray is a dark hunter green, which you can see in some of the closeups, but in most light it appears black. Does have imperfections and scuffs, which while notable to a sale, do not detract from its beauty.
