Three trays cut like lace, nested inside each other until the table calls for all of them at once.
Paolo is a set of three graduated round trays in pierced floral fretwork, finished in antique gold softened with a whitewash rub. Each tray has a raised gallery side and looped wire handles, with a solid base so nothing slips through the pattern.
The largest spans 41cm, the middle 37cm, and the smallest 32cm, so the trio covers a coffee table, an ottoman, and a bedside in one purchase. Nested together they store in the footprint of one.
Why we love it
◆Lacework in metal, a repeating floral pierce that reads delicate from across the room
◆Whitewashed gold, brightness knocked back by hand so the trays sit quietly under whatever they carry
◆Three jobs at once, a drinks tray, an ottoman corral, and a vanity catch-all from one set
◆A generous gift, one box that unpacks into three pieces for a housewarming or wedding

How to style it
Split the set across three rooms, or work them together.
Corral candles from our candle holders on the large tray as a coffee table centrepiece
Use the middle tray under a bud vase from our vases collection
Keep the small tray on a bedside for jewellery and the evening water glass
Carry all three out for grazing boards when guests arrive
Stylist's TipStand the two smaller trays upright at the back of a shelf like plates on a dresser; the pierced pattern reads as wall texture until they are needed.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, letting the cloth follow the pierced pattern. Wipe spills promptly rather than soaking, and keep the trays dry so the whitewashed finish wears evenly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the bases solid or pierced?
The bases are solid; the floral piercing is on the gallery sides. Glasses, remotes, and small items sit flat without catching in the pattern.
What style of decor does it suit?
French Provincial and French country first, though the whitewashed gold also settles into Hamptons and vintage rooms without shouting.
How big are the three sizes?
41cm, 37cm, and 32cm across including the handles, all 11cm high. The large tray holds a full tea service; the small suits a carafe and glass.
Can I serve food on them?
Use them for carrying and staging plated food, boards, and drinks rather than as direct food surfaces. A napkin or board between food and tray keeps the finish at its best.
Will my set look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The whitewash over gold is rubbed by hand, so each tray carries the finish a little differently, which is part of the intended aged character.
Because Paolo is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
