Antique Large Hand Painted Floral Tole Tray Statement Piece

This is one of those rare large tole trays that immediately catches your eye. An exceptional hand painted tole tray, late 19th to early 20th century, it has that beautiful balance of presence and softness that only time and handwork can create. The scale alone makes it special, but it’s the full, romantic bouquet roses, morning glories, tulips, fuchsia, and delicate garden florals—layered in rich, luminous color make it spectacular. 

The gently scalloped edges and generous proportions make it incredibly versatile in your home. You can hang it as statement wall art, lean it on your mantel, layer it on your ottoman, a bookshelf arrangement, or let it sit as the anchor of a collected table. The surface shows timeworn patina with age-appropriate wear and fine craquelure, as shown. 

This is for you if you don't just want to decorate your home, but want to build a feeling within it. It brings warmth, personality, and a quiet kind of elegance that never feels forced.

Collector’s Note

Large hand painted tole trays were originally created as decorative art as much as functional objects, meant to bring color and life into elegant interiors. Today, the best examples are increasingly difficult to find, especially with this level of painterly detail and scale. Each one is completely unique, shaped entirely by the hand of the artist. Complimentary U.S. shipping included.

• Measures 29‑1/2" x 22‑1/4".
