Pamono Mid-Century Modern Italian Lacquered Wood and Brass Serving Tray, 1960s> Trays

This captivating serving tray from the 1960s is a fantastic example of Italian mid-century modern design, blending natural elements with a bold, graphic aesthetic. The rectangular tray features a glossy, sunshine-yellow lacquered wood surface, which provides a vibrant backdrop for the central design element: a meticulously preserved, large dried leaf encased within the lacquer. The deep, rich brown of the leaf creates a stunning contrast against the bright yellow. The tray is framed by sleek, polished brass handles that run along all four sides, adding a touch of glamour and structure to the organic design. The handles are both functional and decorative, making it easy to carry while also enhancing the tray’s sophisticated look.
