This square mirrored tray, measuring 31.5 × 31.5 cm and 4 cm in height, was produced in 1950s Czechoslovakia. Its geometric form is built from a slim chrome-plated steel frame, which supports an inset mirror glass plate. Two semi-cylindrical rolled metal handles are set on opposite sides, blending seamlessly into the minimalist lines of the frame. The overall aesthetic is rooted in mid-century Central European functionalism—clean edges, smooth surface, and understated construction draw on the restraint and clarity of the era. The mirror shows light patina and fine scratches, subtle traces of its history, while the frame’s well-joined construction uses careful metal riveting. The combination of mirror glass and chromium steel provides both durability and a cool, silvery sheen. The tray remains in very good condition—minor wear and patina consistent with vintage character, but no major damage or repairs noted.
This tray reflects the optimism of postwar modernism, capturing both light and movement within its reflective surface. Its cool metallic tones and softened handles evoke a time when everyday objects gained presence through simplicity and refined craftsmanship. Like a quiet observer, it preserves fleeting gestures and shared moments, providing a silent stage for daily rituals.
The tray may become a focal point on a coffee table, paired with matte ceramics or period glassware; it could hold a carafe and tumblers in a relaxed living space, or serve as a refined surface for perfumes or jewelry in a bedroom. In a mid-century modern or curated modernist setting, the mirrored surface adds a layer of luminous subtlety and restrained playfulness. This piece pairs well with straight-lined furniture, light wood veneers, or directional lighting that elevates the chrome’s reflective finish.
