Aluminium and Brass Brutalist Style Tray by David Marshall (1980s) - Large

Aluminium and brass brutalist tray by David Marshall (circa 1980s). This piece is large, elegantly rugged, beautifully trodden and irregularly formed. It looks like it has had a rough life and therein lies its beauty. Raw, brutal, weighty and alluring. Maker's mark appears on leather base piece and in brass handle. The tray is in good vintage condition with characterful wear marks consistent with its fabrication, age and usage. Please see accompanying photographs. Upon request a video of the piece can be provided.
