A tole painted tray is a decorative wooden or metal tray that features hand-painted designs, often inspired by nature, including floral patterns, fruits, or landscapes. The art of tole painting originated in the 18th century and became particularly popular in Europe and North America.
Typically, these trays showcase vibrant colors and intricate detailing, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship of the artisan. Tole painted trays serve both functional and aesthetic purposes; they can be used for serving food and drinks or displayed as stunning art pieces in a home. The charm of a tole painted tray lies not only in its visual appeal but also in the history and tradition of the craft, making it a treasured addition to any French country kitchen or decor.
Why we love this…
“Both charming and functional, vintage pieces can add just the right authentic French touch to your kitchen or home”.
