Vintage Hand Engraved Copper Tray with Bird and Floral Motif

This vintage copper tray is a richly decorative piece, full of warmth, texture and hand worked detail. Measuring 27 cm in diameter, it has a round form with a scalloped edge and a beautifully engraved surface featuring stylised bird motifs, curling foliage and floral decoration.

The copper has developed an attractive aged patina, with darker areas sitting within the engraved detail and softer warm tones across the raised surface. This gives the tray depth and character, making it feel far more interesting than a newly polished piece. The design has a lovely global eclectic quality, with the bird and floral motifs bringing a sense of movement and craftsmanship.

This would be a wonderful styling piece for boho, maximalist, rustic or layered vintage interiors. It could be displayed upright on open shelving, placed on a coffee table with a small vase and books, or used on a dressing table for jewellery, perfume bottles or treasured objects. The warm copper tone works beautifully with dark wood, brass, terracotta, coloured glass, woven textures and richly patterned textiles.

The tray is in good vintage condition with visible tarnish, surface marks, age related wear and natural variation to the copper finish, all of which add to its decorative appeal. A characterful vintage copper tray with strong pattern, warm colour and plenty of interior styling potential.
