Description: Here is a beautiful example of the famous Bowtie long hors d’oeuvre tray model 1685 designed by Jens Quistgaard made of Palisander wood that was made as part of his “Rare Woods” collection for Dansk. These trays have inlaid bowtie or butterfly joints that mirror the overall design of the tray. These trays are getting harder to find and getting quite collectable. The wood on this example is a deep a rich color, clearly indicating it was kept out of direct sunlight. These trays are documented in the Dansk catalogs of the period.
