It features a pagoda form with stylized chinoiserie style legs; a volumetric rectangular body and a beveled apron- all realized in lacquered goatskin of a rich chestnut hue. With its clean modernist lines and beautiful artisanal construction, this piece is not only a perfectly functional tray, but an objet d'art in its own right that promises to beautify any surface that it graces.

Like his contemporary Karl Springer, Enrique Garcel had a penchant for exotic materials, exquisitely finished surfaces and elegant, stylized forms, inspired by Art Deco design. The piece retains its original label on the bottom reading "handmade in Colombia" and is signed "Enrique Garcel." Excellent vintage condition.

Colombia, circa 1980
