Antique Chinese Silver Tea Tray, circa 1910
About the Item
Lovely handmade decorative silver tea tray with an abundant border of hand-chased chrysanthemum flowers and foliage and a hand-engraved surface surrounding the central panel. This silver tray rests on four supports decorated with floral work.
This tray reflects on the four primary decorative elements that appear throughout Chinese decorative arts - the chrysanthemum, prunus, orchid and bamboo. They represent the four seasons - where chrysanthemum embodies autumn - and are also known as the Four Noble Ones or The Four Gentlemen.
