Antique Hugh Wallis Copper Tray — C.1880

Dimensions: 15" L x 7" W
Late 19th Century
Signed HW 

This antique copper tray by Hugh Wallis (1871–1943) is a beautifully restrained example of British Arts and Crafts metalwork, featuring his signature subtle hammered finish and hand-formed roped detail edging. Heavy in the hand and stamped with his HW maker’s mark, this tray reflects Wallis’s hallmark style—blending simplicity, function, and quiet elegance. Pieces of this scale and detail were crafted in his Altrincham, Cheshire studio and remain highly sought after by collectors of hand-hammered copperware.

At Coppermill Kitchen, we curate heirloom-quality antique metalwork that celebrates timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship. This tray is perfect for display on a wall, layered into a copper collection, or used on a table to anchor candles, cups, or small seasonal decor. To maintain the integrity of its original finish, gently hand wash and dry without abrasive products.
