Offered by: Susan Silver Antiques

Description
Antique English black lacquered and parcel gilt papier mache oval tilt-top tray on later stand. It is exuberantly decorated with gilded fleurs-de-lis and interconnecting scrolls, the outer edge with a narrow band of red, then a geometric gilded border, then an inner border of gilded diamonds on a red ground.
