Hand Painted Paper Mache Checkerboard Pedestal Platter

A bold checkerboard composition spreads across the centre of this raised papier-mâché platter, framed by a hand-painted border of repeating triangular forms. The contrast between the orderly grid and the looser geometric rim gives the piece a lively, graphic presence while preserving the irregular charm of hand-painted work.

The broad, shallow top sits on a substantial raised base, lifting the platter above the tabletop and giving it the feel of a small display stand. This elevated form is useful for creating height within a console, sideboard or coffee-table arrangement, particularly when paired with lower trays, books or decorative objects.

Its open surface can hold wrapped sweets, dried botanicals, lightweight ornaments, jewellery or other dry decorative pieces. It also works well left empty, allowing the checkerboard pattern and sculptural profile to remain fully visible.

Formed from papier-mâché and painted individually by hand, the platter retains subtle variations in its circular outline, rim, base and pattern alignment. The textured finish, visible brushwork and occasional uneven line are authentic features of the craft rather than flaws.
