Victorian Beaded Tea Tray Plateau Stand Figural Wood

Antiques : Textiles : Needlework & Beadwork

 

We all know what fabulous display these Victorian trays are, most have only areas of beads as accent, this one is ALL GLASS BEADS. I've sold many of these over the years and this is a very nice one. The aqua blue ground shows 3 central lilies surrounded by a leaf cartouche. There are very few scattered beads lacking, but you have to look closely to find them, the original rope trim edging is in place and the wood base is of fine figural wood with line inlay ( only one small area of a nick on the bottom ). The ball feet are brass, but have darkened over time ( I like them like that ). This is a beauty in great condition !
