These are very elegant trays that would work nicely in either a dinning room or a bedroom setting. They are made from tightly woven raffia, making them attractive, durable, and very useable. Compared to cheaper, loosely woven, wicker or rattan, the refined texture of these raffia trays provides a resting surface that is flat and stable enough to support standing or fragile items. Though textured, the surface does not feel bumpy, rough, or sharp as your rub your hands across the tray (unlike some wicker or rattan weaves).
2 trays are included and are being sold as a pair.

These trays were made in and imported from Indonesia, and appear to have been woven by hand. Both trays are labeled that they were produced in January 2023. The underside of each tray is lined with durable black felt. There is some lint on the bottom showing in the picture that is easily removable with a lint brush.
These trays are pre-owned but in like-new condition, as they were barely used. There are some minor barely noticeable scratches on the top surface of one of the brass handles.
