A really nice heavy antique tray with cut handles, gilt edge, and floral decoration on a black background. The large oval hand painted scene has a castle and frigate ship with small figures on the shore. Tray retains 99 % of its paint and finish, but there are chips to the gilt edge, two tiny chips on the black background and a few small white dots under the castle near the shore. The back of the tray has scratches and a 3/4 inch square spot with gray not black paint. This tray has hung in our dining room for years, but for a complete remolding of the kitchen and removal of the wall we do not have another nice place to hang it. Measures 20 X 14 1/4 inches, 1/12 inches in thickness at the edge.
