Hand-Hammered Oval Silver Serving Tray with Ornate Filigree Border

This hand-hammered oval silver serving tray with ornate filigree border brings together two traditional Moroccan metalworking techniques in a single piece. The oval surface is covered in concentric circular hand-hammered embossing that catches light across its hammered metallic finish. A pierced geometric filigree border frames the rim with scalloped edges and oval cutouts, creating a gallery rim that elevates the tray from serveware to decorative craft. Raised support feet lift the tray slightly off the surface, adding stability and presence whether you use it for tea service, candles, or everyday organization.

The Artisan Story

Master metalworkers in Marrakech’s historic medina create each tray using time-honored Moroccan metalworking techniques that have been practiced for centuries. The process begins with forming brass into an oval shape, followed by meticulous hand-hammering to create the distinctive surface texture. Craftspeople then apply silver plating using traditional methods, ensuring a mirror-like finish that lasts. The decorative filigree border is precision-cut following ancient geometric patterns, with each cutout carefully refined by hand. Kamal, master of silver-plated metalwork, continues this heritage in his Marrakech workshop, where the combination of hammering and pierced filigree is finished entirely by hand.
