Antique Moroccan Silver-Plated Tea Tray Table on Removable Legs Fez, circa 1920

Antique Moroccan Silver-Plated Tea Tray Table on Removable Legs — Hand-Chased, Fez, circa 1920 An exceptional and generously scaled Moroccan silver-plated tray table, masterfully handcrafted in Fez and attributed to artisan Benani. Designed for traditional tea service, this versatile piece functions as both a serving tray and a low table, with three tapered legs that easily unscrew. The round tray is richly decorated with intricate hand-chased and etched Moorish motifs—an elegant interplay of geometric and floral patterns—set within a scalloped “pie crust” edge. The surface reflects the refined craftsmanship associated with early 20th-century Moroccan metalwork, while its form subtly echoes the symmetry and sophistication of the George V style. Crafted from silver-plated brass and finished with a luminous patina, the tray bears its original hallmark and remains a striking example of artisanal skill. Substantial in weight and presence, it offers both functional versatility and decorative impact.
