Plover Tray with Claw Foot Handles

The New York Botanical Garden in association with Lunt Silversmiths, a leader in innovative silver design, has developed a distinctive collection of tableware, decorative accessories, and gifts inspired by some of the finest examples of botanical art in the Rare Book Collections of the Garden's LuEsther T. Mertz Library. Combining 18th century botanical imagery with a modern sensibility, these exquisitely crafted pieces are objects to be treasured as heirlooms.

The vibrant images of a plover on this acrylic tray is from  The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands (London: 1754) by the remarkable British naturalist Mark Catesby. The 18" x 12" tray has elegant silver-plate claw foot handles. It comes inside a handsome gift box with The New York Botanical Garden logo.
