Vintage Italian Hand-Carved Leaf Tray

$98.00

Somewhere a tree gave its best leaf as a reference and a woodcarver took it extremely seriously. This tray is carved from a single piece of wood into an overlapping cluster of leaves, every vein and serrated edge rendered by hand, with small cutout perforations scattered across the surface for good measure. Twin leaf-shaped handles on either end make it functional as well as decorative, though "decorative" might be underselling it, since this is the kind of piece that gets picked up and turned over before anyone asks what it's for.
