Asprey Beverly Hills Tray

Zelouf & Bell’s Beverly Hills Tray for Asprey is an ode to the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel, the ‘Pink Palace’ at the top of Rodeo Drive and Sunset Boulevard, where celebs and A-listers still go to see, be seen and hide away. And, presumably, to enjoy many Happy Hours.

The tray’s lush marquetry motif in fifty shades of green takes its cue from the Martinique banana leaf wallpaper still lulling guests of the Beverly Hills Hotel into forgetting their First World troubles; a selection of green pressure-dyed timbers are inlaid into a pink mother-of-pearl background, a labour-intensive process requiring a scalpel and patience. Hand rubbed matte lacquer finish.

Each tray is presented in a unique fabric sleeve, alluding to Furoshiki, the Japanese tradition of wrapping gifts in gorgeously designed pieces of fabric.
