Panoplie Ilala Tray

Because this tray is made from natural, untreated palm fibers, it is best to keep it dry. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove dust; avoid using water or chemical cleaners, which can damage the organic material.

The tray features a textured, woven surface characteristic of hand-coiled palm. While it is stable, it is not perfectly flat like glass or metal, so it is best suited for serving items with a stable base or for decorative displays.

No, each tray is unique. Because they are handcrafted in Zimbabwe using natural fibers, you should expect slight variations in color, weave pattern, and shape, which are hallmarks of the artisan process.

Yes, its 24.5-inch diameter makes it an excellent centerpiece. It provides a substantial base for styling candles, vases, or seasonal decor, adding a warm, organic texture to your table setting.

The tray is constructed with traditional weaving techniques that provide structural integrity, but it is designed primarily for serving and display. We recommend using it for lighter items like snacks, drinks, or decorative objects rather than heavy, oversized loads.
