Bring the elegance and romance of historic China into your home with the Ming Polo Tray by Lady Clare. This distinctive English-made tray features a beautifully detailed equestrian scene inspired by the centuries-old tradition of polo in China, dramatically presented against a rich black background and surrounded by an elegant hand-gilded frame.
Both decorative and practical, the Ming Polo Tray makes a handsome addition to a cocktail table, bar, library or dining room and is ideal for serving drinks, tea or entertaining guests.
Although known as Ming Polo, the tradition depicted in this striking design reaches much further back in Chinese history. Polo is believed to have originated in Central Asia and became particularly fashionable in China during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). The fast-paced equestrian sport was especially popular among members of the imperial court and aristocracy, and historical evidence shows that both men and women played polo.
Lady Clare's Ming Polo Collection draws upon this rich equestrian tradition, combining the drama and movement of the polo field with the decorative elegance associated with historic Chinese art.
Handcrafted in Great Britain, the Lady Clare Ming Polo Tray features the distinctive Ming Polo design on a deep black background, complemented by a hand-gilded frame. A felt-covered base helps protect fine furniture and tabletop surfaces.
Available in two sizes, the tray is equally at home serving cocktails and refreshments or displayed as an elegant decorative accent.
