This generous leather serving tray is really a decorative tray and as such is best suited for decorative use.  I really like the pattern of the gold foil veneer on the thin leather covering the tray.  It is glam and festive! I look forward to styling the tray for the holidays.  The good  price point is well below those of top designers like A----.  BTW Boutique shops and handmade fair vendors will find a friend in this item when looking for eye catching displays.
