A late 18th/early 19th century Elm tray, having good colour and patination.
This early 19th-century elm tray is a charming example of rustic English craftsmanship, crafted from durable, honey-toned elm wood. This tray would have been used for serving food or drinks, with a simple yet elegant design. Its flat, round shape features slightly raised edges. The rich grain of the elm wood, combined with its functional design, makes it both a practical piece and a decorative collectible, reflecting the utilitarian yet aesthetically pleasing nature of early 19th-century furniture.
