The silver band is generously deep and subtly tapered, allowing hands to lift the tray with ease and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the platter sits a disk of Macassar ebony with a wonderfully figured grain and deep, lustrous colour. This rare and exotic timber was selected not only for its beauty, but also for its practical qualities; as a dense hardwood, it perfectly meets the functional demands of a tray for serving drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 30 cm in diameter, this model TW142 represents the middle size within the series.
