Description:
This is a fine quality antique George IV Regency mahogany butlers’ tray on a turned stand, circa 1830, in excellent original condition. This type of tray was used both on grand tours and campaigns, but also in wealthy houses for serving drinks. It boasts a top quality over sized front-loading tray with shaped side carrying handles. As it is constructed of top-quality mahogany with a dovetail construction, it is reasonably heavy (a sign of quality) with a stunning colour & patination. The base is constructed of a single mahogany plank (another sign of quality). The tray sits on a very good quality turned mahogany-folding stand with connecting ring-turned stretchers for added strength. What makes this an unusual and rarer example is the fact that it features an over-sized tray and the webbing straps to the stand are original.
Condition Report:
This tray and stand is in excellent original condition. It is rare to see an example, which not only is in excellent condition but also is also completely original, even the original webbing to the stand. There are no splits to the top, either. There are nominal old use marks to the leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item and years of use. The wooden tray and stand are both sturdy. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
