Rosewood Tea Tray with Ridged Sides

Dated to the late 19th century, this elegant tea tray charms with clean lines, fine materials, and balanced proportions. Used as a surface for preparing and serving tea, the tray has a tiered top and hand-carved ridged sides concealing three shallow drawers. The gorgeous tray is crafted of huali rosewood, a fine hardwood appreciated for its density, warm coloring, and expressive wood grain. Whether used as a desktop organizer or a place to stow odds and ends, this rosewood tray elevates its surroundings with effortless simplicity.
