Item description

The rectangular top is a mirror with rounded corners and has been skilfully ground with stone wheels from underneath, depicting a courtship scene showing a courtly couple dressed in all their finery in a landscape or formal garden with architectural elements creating a complete and lively image. The upper edge of the mirror is decorated with a glass cord twisted on itself. The handles are of excellent gilded brass casting, the grips, again with a twisted cord motif, have gold straws inside them. Under the bottom, there is a light wood top. The tray was definitely a wedding gift, in fact, on the top of the side, were engraved love the names of the bride and groom: Paola and Nicola. This product, typical of the Venetian tradition, was handmade between 1950 and 1953 using the ancient techniques of Murano workmanship handed down for generations; the artisans were inspired by models created by Barovier & Toso.
