{"product_id":"antique-gilded-wood-offering-tray","title":"Antique Gilded Wood Offering Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis expansive tray is a definitive example of traditional East Asian lacquerwork, notable for its rich vermilion and deep mahogany tones. The central well is intricately hand-painted with a narrative scene depicting a gathered court of figures, rendered in original gold-leaf pigments that have softened into a warm, aged luster. The natural grain of the wood remains visible through the translucent layers of lacquer, a testament to the organic material and the hand-finished nature of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 16 inches in diameter, this substantial tray is equally effective as a low-profile decorative bowl for a dining table or as a powerful piece of wall art. The underside features original calligraphic markings, further establishing its provenance as a curated artisanal object. It is a sophisticated find for a designer looking to introduce a sense of historic storytelling and classical color into a contemporary space.\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Antique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Dimensions: 16\" Diameter x 3\" H.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e*Material: Solid Wood with original Vermilion and Gold-Leaf Lacquer finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Finish: Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Original Use: Ritual or ceremonial offering tray.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Authentic historic condition with visible surface wear, gentle edge distress, and honest aging of the lacquer consistent with its period of use.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49973991801069,"sku":"IMG_3590","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_3590_628489ff-30ed-436a-8685-ba407e180734.jpg?v=1778799482","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/antique-gilded-wood-offering-tray","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
