Description

A late Georgian mahogany oval butlers tray and stand. (We believe the stand is original to the tray). The timber quality of both the stand and panel based tray is excellent as is the colour and patina. The tray has folding brass hinged sides which enables the tray to be displayed and used flat. The sides can be then raised and the tray carried using the pierced handles. The folding X framed stand has been rewebbed as the original ones were at the end of their useful life.

Open and flat the tray measures 88 cm wide and 66 cm deep.

With the sides raised it measures about 73 wide and 49 deep.

On the stand from the floor to the top of the tray base measures 70.5 cm

OVERSEAS buyers please ask for shipping costs before purchasing.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Maintain the wood by applying natural beeswax periodically, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive moisture, and cleaning surfaces gently with a soft, dry cloth.

This versatile item can function as an occasional table in a living room, holding decorative objects, books, or glassware while adding architectural character and historical warmth to the space.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber patina, hand-forged or early cast brass hardware, traditional joinery techniques, and signs of genuine age-related wear on the wood grain.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hinges for folding gallery sides, and collapsible X-frame stands.

Butler trays originated in the 18th century as portable serving surfaces used by domestic staff to transport food and drinks from kitchens to formal reception rooms before being placed on folding stands.
