Bone inlay trays are handcrafted trays where patterns are created by inlaying pieces of bone or resin into the surface (often backed by wood). Each tray is unique due to the handmade process. They add a sophisticated handcrafted quality to a room. According to Style My Home, these trays are “meticulously handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans” and each one is “a one-of-a-kind masterpiece” with unique patterns. This artistry and individuality make them luxurious accent pieces in a Hamptons setting.
Bone trays blend well with the elegant side of coastal design. The light inlay colors (whites, ivories, grays or blues) complement the Hamptons palette. Use them like decorative plates, for example, on a coffee table with a candle and seashell, or on a bedside table to hold small jewelry. The intricate patterns (often geometric or floral) add visual interest without clashing. In essence, they are both functional (you can use them as trays) and highly decorative, bringing an artisanal touch to the crisp coastal decor.
Because of the delicate inlay work, these trays are best treated gently. They are durable for everyday use but should be wiped clean with a damp cloth (avoid soaking). A little polish can keep the bone inlays gleaming. They are robust enough for holding items on dressers or tables, but you generally wouldn’t use them for hot serving. In a Hamptons home, they’re ideal as catch-all trays for jewelry or as a display base, allowing their unique craftsmanship to shine.
