A large and distinctive coffee table created from a traditional mahogany butler’s tray mounted on a solid base. The oval tray top features rich mahogany grain and decorative brass hinges that allow the sides to fold up to form practical carrying handles or remain lowered for use as a generous coffee table surface.

The tray design originates from classic butler’s serving trays, where the raised sides allowed items to be transported easily. In this piece the tray has been permanently mounted onto a sturdy charcoal grey wooden base, transforming it into a striking and functional coffee table.

The contrast between the warm mahogany tray and the darker base gives the piece a balanced, contemporary feel while still retaining its traditional character.

With the sides folded up it creates a framed tray appearance, while folded down it offers a large open oval tabletop ideal for entertaining or everyday use.

This is a practical and attractive statement piece well suited to both classic and modern interiors.
