Very pretty tin tray deco hunting scene with hounds.
Vintage tray from the 70s/80s
Bistro tray
The tray is in good condition despite the years and use!
The decoration is in good condition, some marks of time on the edges but it remains very discreet!
It is more marked by the years at the back but that does not matter because it is not visible and that does not disturb its initial use in any way!
Very nice decorative element for a hunting enthusiast!
The decoration is a reproduction of a work by the French painter Carle Vernet dating from 1824
It is a scene of hunting with hounds or venery and more particularly according to the title of this work "Depart for the hunt. Surroundings of Fontainebleau"
The original work is exhibited at the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris, it was acquired by Charles X in 1824 and is property of the French State!
The painter Vernet inaugurated, with Gros, a new form of military painting, and he excelled in hunting scenes, the small trades of Paris and popular scenes. He remains for the most part the passionate painter of the horse of which he had a deep knowledge.
I think it was originally a French bistro distributor brand advertising gift, hence the annotation on the back "Economia"!
