Late Victorian Boat and Oars Butlers Drinks Tray & Stand

An unusual and fine quality late Victorian butlers drinks tray and folding stand in oak with brass trims to the rowing boat shaped tray and oar shaped legs c.1900. The oval rowing boat shaped tray with raised gallery to the edge, small brass handles to each end in the form of anchors and is an ideal size for serving drinks. The folding stand formed in the style of four oars, each with a flat brass tipped paddle to the end and turned uprights forming the oar handles, with brass mounts at the joints and brass caps to the ends. Two brass pegs to the top rail which sit through the tray securing it in place. Superbly made and beautifully detailed throughout, this is an unusual and possibly unique item presented in immaculate condition. Measurements quoted are for the tray and stands extremities when assembled. Keep up to date via our Instagram channel - sturmansantiques.
