Antique Imperial Russian Hand Hammered Brass Tray – Moscow Factory Mark

Antique Imperial Russian Hand Hammered Brass Tray / Desk Tray – Moscow Factory Mark

Today we have a very cool antique Imperial Russian brass tray, likely late 19th to early 20th century (no later than 1917), featuring a long rectangular form with raised beveled sides, loop handles, hand-hammered center surface, and copper rivet construction. The tray has a stamped Cyrillic factory mark near one end which appears to read/matches with “Фабрика въ Москвѣ,” translating roughly to “Factory in Moscow.” 

Nice decorative utilitarian form that could be used as a desk tray, serving tray, dresser tray, vanity tray, cigar tray, barware accent, or display piece. The surface has an attractive aged brass patina with visible hammering, hand-formed character, and contrasting copper rivet heads.

Approx. Dimensions: 12 1/4"L x 3 3/4"W x 3/8"H
Weight: 7oz

*Condition*
Antique condition with age-appropriate wear throughout. Shows patina, oxidation, scattered discoloration, surface scratches, small dings, spotting, and areas of verdigris/tarnish around the handles and edges. The handles and rivets remain attached. Mark is visible but half worn off.
