Hi,
I am hoping that somebody can help me identify this tray which I believe dates c1900. I have only ever seen Tin Trays so this is beyond my knowledge.

The tray came from a lady in her 60’s and was found in her mothers attic, She said it had originally belonged to her Grandparents and I have no reason to doubt it’s authenticity.
There are high resolution photo’s here –

The Tray has rounded corners and the surround is made from what I think is bent cane or rattan built up and pinned with steel staples. The base is wooden board, again stapled.
The mirrors silver backing has aged in places, although all the lettering is in excellent condition.
I believe it dates c1900 as it is Art Nouveau in style. Would any Coke Collecters have any more information as to rarity and value, etc,?
Many thanks
