Hand Hammered Moroccan Tea Tray Table with Carved Wooden Folding Stand

This Moroccan tea tray table combines hand-hammered dinanderie metalwork with a hand-carved olive wood folding stand. The silver-plated brass tray features thousands of individually placed hammer impressions in concentric circular patterns, creating the signature dimpled texture that distinguishes authentic craftsmanship from machine-pressed alternatives. The round tray rests on a 24-inch hand-carved wooden stand with geometric inlay patterns and an X-frame cross-brace base that folds flat for storage. Available in nine sizes from 13.7 to 39.4 inches in diameter, the removable design serves as a tea table, coffee table, nightstand, or wall-mounted decorative piece.

Artisan Metalwork from Marrakech

Each tea tray table is sourced from Kamal’s metalworking collective in Marrakech’s Sidi Ghanem quarter, where fourth-generation craftsmen practice traditional Moroccan metalworking techniques including dinanderie hand-hammering. Master metalworkers spend five to seven days striking thousands of individual blows to shape and texture the brass surface. The carved wooden stand is shaped from olive wood with hand-cut geometric inlay patterns. Meet Kamal, the master artisan behind these heirloom-quality silver-plated brass pieces, and learn how his workshop preserves centuries-old methods while supporting fair trade wages for fourteen craftspeople and six apprentices.

Specifications and Care

The tray is crafted from silver-plated brass with an olive wood folding stand measuring 24 inches (60cm) in height. Nine diameter options range from 13.7 inches (35cm) to 39.4 inches (100cm). For care, hand wash the tray with mild soap and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Polish the silver-plated surface periodically with a soft cloth to maintain its reflective finish. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture to preserve the wood and metal. Read our guide to cleaning and polishing brass and silver-plated metalware for detailed instructions.
