Decorative antique Brazilian Butterfly Tray
£ 110.00
A decorative antique tray featuring intricately arranged butterfly wings in shimmering iridescent colours, which have been arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with the central feature being a wonderful violet Morpho Butterfly. The design forms a kaleidoscope of soft shades of mauve with strong shades of natural earth tones, gold, autumnal orange and soft browns. The wings are set under glass within a richly coloured mahogany and fruitwood frame with a geometric inlaid banding inside the surround. Each side has a cut out hand hold for ease of use.
History ~
Brazil, circa 1940. There is a paper label on the back of the tray with the manufacturer or retailer's details.
Condition ~
Good antique condition with light wear to the wooden frame, consistent with age. The butterfly wing composition remains well-preserved, vibrant, and largely intact beneath the glass.
