An exceptional mid-century piece that captures the tension between structural weight and delicate artistry. Hand-forged by legendary metal smith Arthur Armour, this substantial 19 x 11-inch tray offers an incredible study in honest materials and sculptural utility.
The centerpiece features a striking, radiating geometric petal design—an elegant nod to Art Deco transitions. This ornate, fluid linework is framed by heavy-duty, riveted industrial bracket handles that provide a brilliant, grounding architectural contrast.
Crafted from solid, hand-wrought aluminum, the piece features an authentic, living surface that never tarnishes, beautifully retaining its history through a soft, honest patina. Marked on the reverse with Armour’s signature knight’s helmet touchmark, this tray is an investment-grade collector's object. It functions beautifully as a dramatic centerpiece, a grounding base for a curated bar vignette, or a standalone sculptural statement.
