Aluminium and Brass Brutalist Style Tray by David Marshall (Circa 1970s)

Aluminium and brass brutalist style tray by David Marshall (Circa 1970s). This tray is different than many of Marshall's works in that it is symmetrical overall rather than  organically irregular. The brass handles at the ends visually uplift the aluminium structure and are complemented by the serrated cross shape in the centre. The maker's mark is impressed on the aluminium edge. The bottom has the trademark leather base also with maker's mark in pristine condition given its age. Overall, this piece is in excellent vintage condition with characterful marks consistent with its fabrication, age and usage.

About the Artist: More than fifty years ago, attracted by the climate, light and magnificent scenery David Marshall left his native Scotland, settled in southern Spain and commenced his artistic career. Inspired by the mountainous surroundings and all the detritus of nature – David developed a thriving design business working with institutional and private clients worldwide (david-marshall.com). His metal works from the 1970s have become iconic and are now seriously collectible pieces.
