Tray 1887 - 1911

This "Tray" by André Aucoc, a French silversmith active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is a fine example of decorative arts. Dated between 1887 and 1911, the tray features a rectangular shape with an octagonal rim, crafted from silver and inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The tray's delicate floral motifs and intricate geometric patterns showcase Aucoc's mastery of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this exquisite piece reflects the beauty and artistry of French silverwork during the late 19th century.
