Moroccan or Syrian Moorish folding tray table
This striking antique Moorish folding tray table was likely made in Morocco or Syria and reflects the rich decorative traditions of the late 19th or early 20th century. Its removable round tray and collapsible base create a wonderfully versatile form once used for serving tea and entertaining guests. With its intricate ornament and warm, well-aged appearance, it makes an impressive side table or accent piece in a modern home. The metal tray is densely hand-chased with architectural, floral, and geometric motifs and finished with a pierced gallery rim. Its time-softened silvered surface reveals warm coppery tones beneath, giving it an especially appealing patina. The dark hardwood base features turned and carved legs, intersecting supports, and delicate openwork panels that bring texture and craftsmanship to every angle. The table is in nice antique condition, showing surface wear, oxidation, finish variation, small marks, and other signs of age and use. The tray retains a characterful, naturally worn patina, while the folding base remains both decorative and functional. A beautiful and usable piece with an abundance of history and presence; shipping can be arranged upon request.
