Liberty & Co. – Arts and Crafts Unpolished English Pewter Tray 0881
£380
This Arts and Crafts pewter tray by Liberty & Co., stamped model 0881, was produced around 1905 and reflects the company’s dedication to simple form and honest material. Crafted from planished pewter, the tray retains its original unpolished surface, emphasising the quiet refinement that distinguished Liberty’s metalwork from continental Art Nouveau.
The broad, softly curved rectangular form is lightly beaten to reveal the subtle texture of handwork, its edge rolled with discreet precision. This tactile surface embodies the British vernacular minimalism that defined Liberty’s aesthetic at the turn of the century, modest in ornament yet exacting in proportion.
