Painted tray table with hand-painted peacock and floral garden scene. Its scalloped top and substantial square legs create a striking balance of delicacy and presence. Evoking the charm of 19th-century English papier-mâché, this lacquered black tray table features a delicately scalloped edge and gilt scrollwork. The top is hand-painted with a classical garden scene—a peacock perched beside an urn, framed by flowers and distant hills—rendered in softly aged tones of green, gold, and blue. The tray rests on a custom-fitted stand with a shaped apron and handsome square legs—a design choice that gives the piece a satisfying visual weight and contrast to the romantic painting above. The result is a table that feels both decorative and grounded, at home in traditional and eclectic interiors alike. Height: 19 ¼ In. Length: 31 In. Depth: 23 ¾ In. Likely of late 20th-century Indian origin, made in the English papier-mâché style and hand painted.
