Hand Engraved Silver Serving Tray with Feet – Rectangular Gallery

Gallery serving tray crafted from solid brass with hand-engraved geometric lattice base and polished silver plate. The rectangular form measures 25×35cm in the small size and 35×40cm in the medium, with a pierced vertical-slatted gallery border that frames tea sets, appetizers, or decorative objects. Four decorative ball feet elevate the tray above the table surface, adding dimension and protecting finishes from heat or scratches.

Key Features

• Hand-engraved base: Geometric lattice pattern, each line cut by hand into the brass before silver plating
• Pierced gallery edge: Vertical slat cutwork surrounds the perimeter, acting as both decoration and a practical guard against sliding
• Elevated design: Four ball feet raise the tray for improved ergonomics and surface protection
• Two sizes: Small (25×35cm / 9.84×13.7in) for intimate settings; Medium (35×40cm / 13.7×15.7in) for larger service
• Food-safe construction: Lead-free silver plating suitable for tea, pastries, and appetizers

Artisan Metalwork from Marrakech

Each tray is shaped and decorated using traditional Moroccan metalworking techniques practiced for centuries in the medina’s artisan quarters. The hand-engraving process requires a steady hand and specialized chisels to carve the geometric lattice into the brass base. After piercing the gallery border and attaching the decorative feet, the piece is plated in silver and polished to a mirror finish. This is the same craft tradition upheld by master artisan Kamal, whose workshop specializes in silver-plated brassware.

How to Use & Care for Your Tray

The rectangular shape accommodates tea sets, cocktail service, or vanity organization. The gallery edge prevents cups and small plates from shifting during service, while the elevated feet protect wooden or delicate surfaces. Because the silver plate sits over a brass core, the tray has substantial weight that stays stable when carried. For care, hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Polish periodically with a soft cloth to maintain the reflective finish. Read our guide to cleaning and polishing brass and silver-plated metalware for detailed instructions.
