Hand painted linen and metal tray

The elephant motif, a symbol of stability, power and prosperity in India from which this pretty tray originates, conceals a skilful technique: the metal plate with its pure lines is covered with a piece of linen by the craftsman before being patiently painted by hand. This is how the pattern comes to life under the skilled brush. 

Its Alpine colour, which plays off each other in a fascinating play of light and shade, makes the motif captivating. As for its clever dimensions, they make it an ideal ally for evening teas in the living room or breakfasts in bed, and can also be used as a tray or centrepiece for your aperitifs or beautiful flower vases.
