Castanea Set of 2 Hammered Rectangular Trays with Gold Handles

Carry drinks and appetizers on a mirror-bright tray, then nest the second tray for a bigger spread.

Castanea is a pair of rectangular trays in hammered aluminum, with gold-tone bit-style handles at each end. The photos show two sizes, so you can carry drinks on the large tray and appetizers on the smaller one, or stack them for storage.

The hammered center hides fingerprints and light scuffs, while the polished rim gives a clean edge. Use them for hotel in-room service, a bar cart, a coffee-table landing zone or a catered event. The hammered finish makes light scratches from daily use harder to see than they would be on a mirror-polished tray.

Planning notes

Choose the large tray for glassware and the smaller one for snacks. No size is given for the pair, so measure the table or cart you plan to use before ordering.

Silver and gold work with marble, glass and walnut. Pair the trays with the Carpinus hammered bowls for a unified entertaining set. If you serve drinks, place a folded napkin under each glass to keep the hammered surface from clinking. For a bigger spread, use the larger tray as the base and set the smaller tray on top to create a second level.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor spaces.
• Not for the dishwasher: hand wash only.
• Not for heavy loads: it is sized for glassware and small plates.

Care

Hand wash with mild soap, dry immediately and buff with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads that dull the hammered finish. Wipe up spills promptly to keep the finish bright.

Frequently asked questions

Do the trays nest?

The photos show one tray sitting on the other, so they stack.

What sizes are they?

No sizes are given. One tray is clearly larger than the other.

Can I use them as a bar tray?

Yes, the raised handles make drink service easier.

Is there a matching bowl set?

Yes, the Carpinus hammered bowls share the gold-tone bit handles.

Are the handles easy to hold with one hand?

They are shaped as raised bit handles at each end, so most people carry the tray with two hands for stability.
