Antique silver cocktail or drinks tray

Made at the beginning of the Art Deco era, this eight-sided, silver drinks tray features cast reeded handles and an applied moulded border, both personifying the Art Deco style of the period.

This silver tray is perfect for serving drinks and cocktails but also suited to offering canapés, hors d'oeuvres or sandwiches.

Art Deco was the popular design style spreading across Europe in the 1920s and 1930s and characterised especially by sleek geometric or stylised forms. It represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. For that reason silver cocktail and barware were popular categories of goods to reflect the style of the time.
