This large serving tray dates from the Arts and Crafts period around 1910. Fabricated from copper, the piece displays an oval form with an overall metallic copper colour and a tactile hand-hammered finish across its surface. Integrated raised handles project from both ends, curving smoothly upwards, while the base sits flat with a slightly flared rim containing the central well. Practical dimensions measure 3 cm high by 60 cm wide and 30 cm deep. Such a serving vessel suits placement upon a sideboard top within a rustic farmhouse interior, serving as a functional accessory for holding glassware or decanters during gatherings, or simply displaying decorative items in a living space or dining room.

FAQs

Originating in the late nineteenth century, the Arts and Crafts movement championed handcrafted metalwork over mass industrial production. Copper became a favoured material due to its malleability, warm tone, and ability to clearly display hand-tooling marks.

Artisans formed copper trays from a single sheet of metal, hand-shaping the outline with specialist hammers over wooden or iron anvils. Handles were either integrated into the raised body sheet or riveted separately, while edges were folded or rolled to increase structural integrity.

Authentic hand-hammered copper displays slight irregularities in the size, depth, and spacing of hammer facets across the surface. Look for hand-finished borders, natural oxidisation within the indentations, and stamped makers marks on the underside.

A large copper tray functions effectively on a sideboard, ottoman, or kitchen island as a defined base for grouping glassware, decanters, or ceramic vessels. The warm metallic tone creates clear visual contrast against dark timber, marble, or painted surfaces.

To preserve natural patination, clean copper gently using warm water, neutral soap, and a non-abrasive soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers that strip surface oxidation or scratch the metal.
