Re: Small Antique Persian Tray - 11 inches in diameter
Trays like this have been made for the Tourist/Export market for a great many years, dating back to the late 1800's, most of the export examples since World War Two with folding legs for use as coffee and end tables. We'd retail the larger ones in $100.00- $150.00 range and the smaller ones at $50.00- $75.00
