This long narrow tray from Swat Valley, Pakistan, is painted on a soft powder-blue ground and carries two diamond medallions side by side rather than a single centre motif. Each diamond holds a radiating spray of teal and ivory foliage around a crimson rosette, and cobalt scallops and saffron dot chains fill the space between them. The pairing gives the long panel a balanced rhythm along its length.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why two medallions instead of one?
A single medallion on a 16-inch panel leaves long empty runs at either end. Doubling the motif keeps the composition balanced and gives the eye two focal points as it travels along the tray.
Is powder blue a durable colour choice?
Pale blues are among the most stable pigments in the range and hold their tone well indoors. The sealed gloss coat protects them the same way it protects the darker grounds.
Does this coordinate with the sand and grey trays?
Yes. Powder blue, sand, and dove grey are the three muted grounds in the collection and share a palette of crimson, teal, and ivory motifs, so they group naturally on a console or shelf.
How thick is the wood?
Trays in this range are cut from solid stock roughly 8 to 10 mm thick in the base, with side walls of similar thickness and integral cut handles, so there are no glued joints to fail at the handle.
