Vintage 30s French Folk Art Serving Tray

Antique 30s French serving tray

This beautifully hand painted serving tray is a fine example of French folk art from the 1930s. It depicts an idyllic countryside scene featuring a stork’s nest perched atop a rooftop – a traditional and symbolic motif in French rural art.

The artwork was painted on a wooden panel and protected beneath a glass surface, allowing the tray to be used for serving drinks or snacks without risking damage to the painting beneath.

Both practical and decorative, this tray would make a stylish addition to a table setting, sideboard, or kitchen display.

After almost a century, the tray remains in good condition and shows only minor signs of age-related wear. Over time it has developed a gentle patina that enhances its character and authenticity. The surface has been treated with antique wax, providing a protective layer and a subtle, soft sheen.
