ABOUT PRODUCTID 12638
This rectangular decorative tray, produced by Szandrik in Hungary in the 1930s, exemplifies Art Deco craftsmanship in silver-plated brass. The surface features a semi-matte finish that softly reflects light, with a gentle patina lending subtle depth to the cool silvery tone. Distinctive geometric, stepped handles on the shorter sides—each comprising three raised, rounded segments—create a rhythmic, architectural accent. The tray’s rim is subtly contoured, while the main plane remains smooth and unadorned, showing fine scratches and traces of use consistent with its age. The construction is solid, with no visible joints or repairs, and the overall condition is very good—only minor signs of time such as light patina and small scratches are present.The form and details of this tray evoke the interwar fascination with geometry and modernity. The silvered surface diffuses light gently, while the profiled handles recall the steps of a modernist foyer or the entrance to a grand hotel of the 1930s. Each mark on the material is a quiet record of daily rituals from bygone decades—a narrative of an object that accompanied gatherings and leisurely mornings, preserving architectural discipline and measured, minimalist ornamentation.The tray can be displayed on a low console of dark wood, where the contrast between cool silver and deep brown accentuates its geometric details. It serves well as a decorative base for glass decanters, modernist vases, or a collection of small figurines from the era. Interiors styled in the spirit of Art Deco, modernism, or eclectic collector’s spaces will gain a subtle architectural note—alternatively, it may be paired with mirrored surfaces or minimalist ceramics to draw out the purity of form and interplay of metal and light.
