Description

The rectangular butler's tray has dovetailed corners. The front and back sides are pierced for hand grips. The bottom board is screwed to the undersides of the sides with what appear to be machine-made screws. The folding mahogany stand is modern (probably 1875-1925) and not original to tray.
