About this piece
The Harrogate is a beech serving tray for coffee, breakfast and drinks at the table. Honey-gold and deep brown bands run through the timber, with fine dark lines and an irregular grain pattern that gives this piece its character. A shallow routed recess with rounded inner corners leaves a border around the serving surface.
Two decorative handles in an aged brass colour sit at the shorter ends, and four round feet are fitted underneath. The tray has a 45 x 25 cm footprint and a food-safe oil-and-wax finish. Its grain, recessed face and ornate fittings make it a distinctive piece to leave on display between uses. Sold as one tray; food, drinks, crockery and other styling props are not included.
The timber
European Beech
Fagus sylvatica · Germany
Quiet, pale, and practical - the dependable workhorse of European hardwoods.
A pale, creamy hardwood with a fine, even grain and a calm, understated character. European Beech is harder than cherry and walnut, making it a dependable choice for everyday boards, kitchen tools, and functional pieces that need to stand up to regular use. Its subtle colour and smooth surface let the form of the piece do the talking. Simple, honest, and quietly durable.
Care instructions
Wipe the tray with a soft damp cloth and mild soap when needed, then dry promptly. Do not soak or put in a dishwasher. Keep the handles and feet dry, avoid abrasive cleaners, and refresh the wooden surface with food-safe board oil and wax when it begins to look dry.
