Antique calling card tray or dessert stand with eglomise souvenir panel depicting the beach resort of Brighton, England - turn of the century. Grand Tour souvenirs; they're most all made in France, as this one was, and date near the end of the 1800s to earliest 1900s. This one depicts the beautiful seaside resort town of Brighton, England, turn of the century era. This one survives with its painting as pristinely in place - no flaking or lost paint.

This one has no chips at all on the back-painted glass panel centered in the tray, and a finger tip will not find a break or crack on the ormolu framework, either.
Wonderful architectural study on this one, and great style and shape with nice large size, too.
