Maker & History
Mirrored serving trays were popular in European interiors from the Art Deco period into the post-war years, combining reflective glass with streamlined metalwork and early plastics such as Bakelite. Their mix of glamour and practical barware design made them especially suited to the Machine Age and cocktail culture of the 1930s–1950s.

Why we love it

Sourced by Valérie

I love the sense of history this tray carries, but also how elegant it still feels today. The mirrored surface, dark handles and strong Art Deco lines give it a beautiful presence without making it feel overly ornate.
