Newlyn Arts & Crafts Copper Tray – Hand-Hammered, Signed, c.1900
£ 75.00
On offer is a rare and highly collectible Arts and Crafts copper tray by the renowned Newlyn School of Industrial Arts, a leading force in the British Arts & Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This large, hand-hammered copper tray features a subtle decorative motif—likely marine or floral—and is fully stamped with the ‘NEWLYN’ mark on the front, verifying its authenticity. Measuring approx. 17 inches by 7 inches, it offers a wonderful surface for serving, display, or as a centrepiece in any Arts and Crafts interior.
The tray is offered in original, untouched condition and has not been polished, retaining its rich, aged patina. However, as it is solid copper, it could be cleaned to a brighter finish if desired. There are a few minor dings, consistent with age and use, but the tray remains in very good vintage condition overall.
🎨 About Newlyn Copper & the Arts and Crafts Movement:
Established in Cornwall in the late 1800s, the Newlyn Industrial Class was created to train local fishermen in crafts like copperwork during hard economic times. Their output—characterized by marine scenes, natural motifs, and meticulous hand tooling—became a cornerstone of the Arts and Crafts ethos, which valued handmade integrity over mass production. Today, original Newlyn pieces are highly sought after by collectors and decorative arts institutions alike.
