Antique French Papier Mache Crumb Tray with Courtly Scene
Trompe l'oiel wood grain ground papier mache decorated with a noblewoman sitting astride an elegantly attired horse commend this antique crumb tray. Hard to believe such a lovely creation would ever actually be used to collect crumbs! But a graceful and gracious table setting does have it's requirements I suppose....I never entertain. And I am about as formal as an alley cat.) Our noble lady is surrounded by a scrolling embellishment of gilt vines and regal blossoms. Absolutely lovely, and in pristine condition. I am hard pressed to find flaws on this piece, I suppose a surface minor scratch or two. Really it's in excellent condition; and consider this item dates from the mid-1800's and be amazed.
Dimensions: 12" across, 10" wide and 2" deep.
This tray is a close companion to another tray I am selling. The two would make an elegant pair to set upon a table top or a wall.
