William Morris Compton Handcrafted Wooden Serving Tray – Autumnal

Bring the rich colours of an autumn garden into your home with this handcrafted wooden serving tray, beautifully decoupaged with the much-loved William Morris Compton design.

Dating from 1896, Compton was created for Morris & Co. and is filled with the flowing foliage, curling leaves and abundant flowers so characteristic of the Arts & Crafts style. In this wonderfully autumnal colourway, its warm reds, greens and earthy tones give the intricate pattern a particularly rich and inviting feel.

The tray is hand painted in deep sage green and finished with rusty red metallic edging, carefully chosen to complement the colours running through the Compton design.

Whether you're serving breakfast, afternoon tea or evening drinks, it brings warmth, pattern and a little Arts & Crafts character to the occasion.

When not in use, it looks equally at home displayed on a coffee table, kitchen island or sideboard, styled with a scented candle, a posy of dried flowers or a favourite coffee-table book.

Every piece is individually handcrafted and carefully finished by hand. The placement of each design varies naturally, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Your homeware will be beautifully unique, with its own individual character.

Every surface is sealed with a durable heat and water-resistant varnish, making the tray practical for everyday use while protecting its carefully handcrafted finish.

“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” — William Morris

Care

Avoid abrasive cleaners, furniture polishes or chemical sprays, as these may damage the protective finish over time.
