This vintage tray is pure old-school charm. Crafted from warm-toned wood with curved edges and bentwood handles, it features a marquetry inlay of a cocktail glass, cherry garnish, and a smoldering cigar — the ultimate mid-century lounge moment.
Very likely made by Swedish manufacturer Mjölby Intarsia in the 1930's or 40's, this piece is part of a tradition of decorative wooden trays featuring still life compositions in inlaid veneer. The detailing is quietly impressive — especially in the curved smoke trail and layered wood tones — and the overall mood is just the right mix of refined and unhinged.
A rare find. Perfect for serving drinks, anchoring a bar setup, or simply adding a hit of nostalgic flair to a shelf or sideboard. Would also make a unforgettable gift.

NOTE ON THE MAKER – Mjölby Intarsia was a Swedish workshop known for its decorative marquetry work, particularly trays featuring inlaid scenes of fruit, musical instruments, or cocktails. Active in the mid-20th century, the company also produced furniture with similar inlay techniques — including cabinets and tables — showcasing their deep expertise in veneer craftsmanship. Today, their pieces are prized and collected for their nostalgic charm, fine detailing, and uniquely Scandinavian blend of function and ornament.
