A circular medallion fills the centre with ivory and turquoise foliage over dense gold liner work, and layered borders of cobalt and crimson vines step outward toward the rim. The dark ground makes the ivory highlights and gold detailing read as the dominant colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark chocolate-brown ground with a large ivory and turquoise centre roundel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentric framing bands in ivory petal scallops, teal rules, and crimson brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt and crimson paisley vine panels flanking the medallion on both long sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold liner work throughout, with ivory edge lining and cut-out side handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 15 inches (30 x 38 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasoned solid wood with hand-painted oil finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, sealed, waterproof oil-based paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serving tray for tea, coffee, and dessert, formal table centrepiece, console and shelf display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-wash with mild soap, dry immediately, avoid dishwashers, soaking, and abrasive scourers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhy choose a dark brown ground over black or blue?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown sits between the two. It gives the same contrast that makes gold and ivory detailing stand out, but it reads warmer than black and blends into timber furniture rather than sitting against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow many separate borders does this design have?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour, working outward from the medallion: an ivory petal scallop, a teal rule with crimson corner brackets, a cobalt and crimson vine panel, and the rim vine. Layered borders are a hallmark of higher-grade Swati work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill the dark paint show scratches?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight surface marks are less visible on brown than on black. The sealed gloss coat takes normal use, but sliding ceramics or cutlery across the panel repeatedly will eventually dull the sheen, so lift rather than drag items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this suitable for daily use or only occasions?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built for daily use.
