Beautiful antique Canadian Arts & Crafts solid copper tray, hand-wrought into an elegant boat-shaped form.
 
The tray has a wonderfully simple, handcrafted quality, with the irregularities of the worked copper adding to its character. Its elongated boat-like shape makes it particularly sculptural, while the warm aged copper has developed a lovely patina over time.
 
A great example of Arts & Crafts metalwork, with a strong emphasis on honest materials and handmade construction. Perfect as a decorative catchall, table centrepiece or simply displayed as a piece of early Canadian decorative metalwork.
 
Sourced in Canada.
