Beautiful vintage Everlast forged aluminum serving tray with a richly embossed grapevine-and-leaf design, softly hammered surface and sculptural open handles. Substantial patina, mottling and surface wear give it the wonderfully timeworn character that makes old aluminum giftware so good in a collected room.
Maker: Everlast Metal Products Corporation Material: Forged aluminum Design: Grapevines, leaves and berries Era: Mid-century, likely circa 1940s–1950s
About Everlast aluminum: Everlast Metal Products was founded in New York in 1932 and became known for decorative aluminum giftware. Its serving pieces transformed lightweight aluminum with hammered surfaces, raised botanical motifs and sculptural handles, giving households decorative metalware that looked far more elaborate than its practical material might suggest.
Measurements: approximately 17.75" x 8" Weight: approximately 1.5 lb
Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with substantial age-related patina, oxidation/discoloration, spotting, scratches and surface wear throughout. These signs of age are visible in the photos and contribute to its collected character. Please review all photographs carefully.
Dating note: Everlast produced decorative aluminum across multiple decades. Based on the maker's mark, form and grapevine decoration, this tray is consistent with the company's mid-century work and is reasonably placed in the 1940s–1950s range rather than assigned an unsupported exact year.
