Florentine painted wooden tray, 1950-1960

Very pretty medium-sized Florentine tray made of moulded wood, hand-painted and enhanced with patinated gilding. 1950-1960. It is adorned with a central medallion featuring a decoration of roses and wildflowers, surrounded by a frieze of relief arabesques. The edge is shaped, painted green with marbled effects. In the four corners, there is a checkered and gilded motif from which four cabochons imitating precious stones descend. The reverse is gilded and checkered, with a stamped marking in the wood indicating "Made in Italy". This tray comes from a workshop in the Florence region (Italy); it is part of a mass production intended for export and European tourism, at a time when baroque and Florentine rococo ornaments (17th-18th century) were in high demand. The popularity of these trays grew after the war. This one shows signs of wear on the central medallion, indicating domestic use rather than as an ornament or decoration. Aside from this detail, it is in very good condition. Very charming! Dimensions: 43.5 X 29 X 1.5 cm. Careful packaging. I respond to all your questions regarding the items and their delivery.
