Tray - Glass, Wood, Metal - Hollywood Regency

Vintage Murano / Venetian glass tray – mirror glass with etched galante scene and twisted glass edge (torchon) – Italy, ca. 1940-1950 Description: A beautiful and elegant vintage Venetian tray (vanity tray / mirror panel) in the style of Ercole Barovier. The centerpiece consists of mirror glass, refined with a hand-etched galante scene of a dancing couple in 18th-century style. The raised edge is characteristically crafted from a thick, twisted glass cable (torchon) in a two-tone finish (transparent and clear aquamarine blue). The tray is equipped with two sturdy, distinctive metal handles. An iconic piece of Italian design and Hollywood Regency style, perfect as a decorative object or functional serving tray.
