Italian Florentine Tray, Orange and Gold Gilt, Made in Italy, 13" x 11"

A Florentine tray in persimmon orange and gold: a scalloped, gilded rim, a carved border of twisted rope and acanthus, and a pair of raised gold scrolls meeting in the middle. The gilding has the soft, slightly rubbed look these always have, with the wood grain showing through the orange.

It still carries its original round gold foil label: Made in Italy for Action, Cheswick, PA. Florentine giltwood like this was made in and around Florence and sold through American importers from the 1950s through the '70s. The underside is gilded too, with a small round impressed maker's stamp at the center.

Florentine Tray, gilt and painted wood, made in Italy. Original Action foil label. Orange and gold. 13" x 11". Light wear to the gilding along the high points and rim, a few small dark marks on the scalloped edge, and light scuffing on the gilded back.

For a bar cart, a dresser, or coffee in bed. #followthefeeling @tallmadge_ave_vintage

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
