A sculptural Mid-Century Modern chrome tray designed by Lars Andersson for Avesta Jernverk, Sweden, dated 1958.
Formed in polished chrome with clean, architectural lines, the surface is centered by a minimalist bison rendered in low relief. The restrained silhouette and balanced proportions reflect the quiet strength characteristic of Scandinavian modernist design.
Compact in scale yet unexpectedly weighty, the tray has a satisfying presence in hand and on the tabletop. Equally suited for a desk, entry table, or vanity, it functions beautifully as both utility piece and small design object.
Signed and dated to the reverse.
