Aldo Tura Mirrored Goatskin Tray, Italy, Mid-Century
Aldo Tura Mirrored Goatskin Tray, Italy, Mid-Century
Not just a Tray—your Cocktail’s Stage.
At first glance, it’s a tray. But look closer—Aldo Tura never designed “just a tray.”
Here, Milan’s master of lacquered goatskin pairs his signature parchment finish with mirrored glass, creating an object that’s both functional and theatrical. The goatskin surface glows with mottled depth, sealed under lacquer like an ancient fossil preserved in amber. The inset mirror doesn’t just serve—it stages, amplifying whatever you place on it with a shimmer of light.
Tura understood the Milanese ethos of mid-century design: that everyday objects could be transformed into miniature stages for living. These trays were as likely to hold cocktails as they were to hold perfumes, flowers, or objet d’art—each reflection a small performance in a room.
Italian luxury distilled: part surface, part shimmer, and entirely unforgettable.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
