Calendula Gray Rectangular Tray with Brass Seahorse Handles

Corral decor, candles or drinks on a cast tray with brass seahorse handles at each end.

Calendula is a long rectangular tray cast in aluminum with a distressed antique gray finish, and it has a brass seahorse standing at each short end as a handle. Use it on a coffee table to hold candles and books, on a console for keys and mail, or on a bar cart for glassware.

The shape is Art Deco in feel, and the seahorse detail suits a coastal home, a seaside hotel or a restaurant with a nautical theme. At 7 lbs it is heavy enough to sit firmly on a tabletop and carry a decorative arrangement. The tray looks balanced when both seahorses are visible, so keep the center of the tray lightly styled.

Planning notes

Place decor in the center and keep the handles clear. The long, narrow shape suits a console or the end of a coffee table.

Gray metal and brass go with white linen, rope and blue accents. Pair with Metropolitan Decor Essentials glass and marble pieces for a layered coastal scheme. If you use it for drinks, use a coaster or a mat under glasses to keep the metal surface from scratching. For decor, a single candle and a small plant look best at the center.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for the dishwasher: hand wash only.
• Not for hot dishes: the cast metal finish is decorative.

Care

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Buff the brass handles with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Do not soak the brass handles.
