Art Nouveau Style Sculptural Gilt Resin Tray

This circular tray features an intricate, high-relief floral motif heavily influenced by Art Nouveau aesthetics, characterized by flowing organic lines and stylized botanicals. The centerpiece is a circular vessel or tray top approximately 12 to 15 inches in diameter. Its surface is adorned with various flora, likely Irises and Primroses, which are sculpted with fluid, whiplash curves typical of late 19th-century design. The material appears to be a cold-cast resin or composition material that has been finished with a metallic gold or bronze gilt. This finish includes a dark antiquing patina applied into the recessed areas to enhance the depth of the sculptural elements. The construction suggests it is a mid-to-late 20th-century decorative reproduction rather than a period antique, likely mass-produced for home decor markets. Condition-wise, the item shows some surface abrasions and minor loss of the gilt finish on high points, revealing a darker underlay. There is visible dust and grime in the deeper crevices, which is common for relief-style pieces. No maker's marks or signatures are visible in the current view, but its uniform casting indicates a molded manufacturing process. The quality is consistent with decorative accent furniture, designed to mimic the appearance of heavier hand-chased bronze or carved wood at a fraction of the weight.
