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.

This silver-plated cocktail tray dates to 1940 and reflects an Art Deco style. The piece presents a polished silver colour with a rectangular form, a stepped moulded rim, and two integrated demi lune handles. The polished surface displays a distinct reflection of a slatted ceiling light, and full maker's marks appear on the underside for the Parisian goldsmith Orfèvrerie Christofle. The tray measures 2.5 cm high, 34.3 cm wide, and 22.9 cm deep, arriving in excellent condition after professional cleaning and polishing by a silversmith. In a contemporary home, this tray serves as a practical and decorative addition to a sideboard top or home bar for serving drinks. It brings mid-twentieth-century French design into dining rooms, living areas, or entertaining spaces, offering a refined surface for glassware and bottles during gatherings or everyday display.

FAQs

Art Deco silver trays from the 1940s feature streamlined geometric forms, minimal surface ornamentation, and polished metallic finishes reflecting modern industrial design aesthetics.

These trays were typically crafted from base metals such as nickel silver or brass, subsequently coated with a layer of pure silver using electroplating techniques.

Authentic Christofle pieces carry clear maker marks, hallmarks, or stamped names on the underside, often alongside specific weight or electroplating indicators.

Place the tray on a sideboard or bar cart to organise glassware, decanters, and cocktail accessories, adding a structured metallic accent to the surface.

Clean gently using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or machine washing to protect the electroplated surface.
