Scallop Trays
Our scallop edged trays are made from a beautiful African blackwood and combines traditional techniques with modern design. The intricate pattern is etched by hand using simple hand tools by our wood carvers. An ode to the old and nod to the new.
Available in two sizes, the small tray is a lovely size for trinkets and candles, while the large tray is ideal for serving and keeping fruits in.
Some of the trays feature a unique two-toned natural grain, showcasing the raw natural beauty of African Blackwood.
We work directly with our group of Makonde wood carvers who are renowned for their craftsmanship, a skill passed down for generations from father to son.
Your purchase supports job creation and helps to keep the tradition of wood carving in the Makonde tribe alive.
