Mid-20th Century Folding Metal TV Tray Table with Gilt Decoration
Description
A vintage folding metal tray table, commonly referred to as a TV tray, dating from the mid-20th century. The rectangular metal tray features a raised rim and is finished in a mottled orange-red ground intended to simulate a faux-leather or tortoiseshell appearance. The surface is decorated with a gilt foliate and scroll-work border and a central lozenge-shaped floral motif. It is supported by two gold-painted tubular metal U-shaped legs which fold flat against the cream-painted underside for storage. The legs are secured by plastic clips and are fitted with black feet. No maker’s marks or labels are visible on the piece.
Condition report:
The table displays signs of age and significant use. There are surface scratches and areas of paint loss to the tray top, with oxidation visible along the rim. The gold-painted legs show considerable wear, including paint loss, pitting, and surface rust. The underside has scuffs and general wear commensurate with age. The plastic retaining clips appear to be functional and intact.
