Black Marble Tray Set — 30x20x3cm & 30x13x3cm

Description

A black marble tray offered in two sizes, made to work together as a pair or on their own: a 30x20x3cm surface for the coffee table, and a 30x13x3cm companion slim enough to sit on a console or a bar cart. The near-black stone carries fine white veining that shifts as the light moves across it, and the honed surface stays matte rather than glossy, so the piece reads as quiet rather than formal.

Low walls keep a candle, a cup, a set of keys, or a small bottle of oil contained without turning the surface into a basket. The stone is heavy enough to stay put when you set something down on it, and dense enough to take a spilled drink without marking. Use it on a coffee table, an ottoman, or a bedside console; the smaller size works alone on a vanity or an entryway shelf.

Because black marble is quarried rather than printed, no two trays show the same pattern — expect soft clouding, occasional grey or gold threads, and a surface that warms a shade under direct light. Each piece is honed and finished by hand. Wash with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral stone cleaner.

Each stone ages differently — see our guide to Nero Marquina marble, and the complete marble care guide for everyday cleaning and stain removal.

Frequently asked

What belongs on a marble tray?

The two sizes are meant to hold the small things that otherwise scatter: a candle, a cup, keys, a dish of rings, a bottle of oil. The 30x13x3cm piece is narrow enough for a console or a bar cart; the 30x20x3cm one is the coffee-table size.

Is black marble harder to keep clean?

Not harder, but less forgiving: dust, fingerprints and dried water marks show up sooner on dark stone. A quick pass with a dry cloth after wiping is what keeps it looking even.

Why does my tray not match the photos exactly?

Because the stone is quarried, not printed. Veining, clouding and the occasional gold or grey thread differ from piece to piece, and the surface warms a shade under direct light. That variation is the mark of real stone rather than a defect.
