Maison Baguès Style Opaline Glass and Brass Serving Tray

Maison Baguès Style Opaline Glass and Brass Serving Tray

This elegant Maison Baguès style serving tray combines clear opaline glass with a finely worked brass frame. The tray is surrounded by an openwork brass gallery with delicate pierced lattice motifs. Two brass handles are integrated into the sides, making the piece both practical and decorative.

Its refined construction reflects the sophisticated French tableware and decorative arts of the Mid-Century period. At the same time, the combination of glass and brass gives the tray a light, architectural appearance.

Pierced Gilt-Brass Gallery

The most distinctive feature is the openwork brass gallery. Its delicate pattern creates a decorative border around the glass surface without making the tray feel heavy. The two side handles are built directly into the gallery, giving the design a clean and cohesive appearance.

The brass has an even aged gilt patina. This warm finish adds depth to the openwork details while preserving the elegant character of the piece.

Opaline Glass and Brass

The tray has a clear opaline glass ground set within a moulded brass frame. The pale glass contrasts beautifully with the warm brass and gives the surface a soft, luminous quality.

Because of its generous size, the tray can be used for serving or displayed as a decorative accent. It works equally well on a coffee table, side table, or console.

Maison Baguès Style

The finely pierced brass gallery is characteristic of the luxurious decorative language associated with Maison Baguès, the renowned Parisian maker of gilt-brass and crystal furnishings. This tray is offered as Maison Baguès style, reflecting the refined French design associated with the house without asserting a documented attribution.

Its combination of delicate metalwork, glass, and sculptural detailing is particularly well suited to elegant Mid-Century interiors.
