The entire tray is trimmed in an antique gold color.

Measuring 6 x 6 square, this little tray holds cocktail napkins and pretty notepads. Jewels are also nice. Lovely addition to the wet bar or desk.

Regardless of how you decide to use this piece, its a perfect harmony of modern glamour and rustic bohemian style.

This piece is in great condition, no scratches. I picked it up from an art show in Greenville, SC. If you are interested, I have a larger, matching piece also listed.

Not familiar with Tole?

The term tôle, derived from the French tôle peinte, "painted sheet metal", is synonymous in English usage with japanning on tin. In American collectibles and antiques, toleware refers to kitchen-related objects created from metal, typically tin or thin steel.

Tole is an art form dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, tole painting is a worldwide phenomenon, largely due to the international expansion of the now 50-year-old Society of Decorative Painters. less See less
