Antique "Le Normandie" Transatlantic Ship Tray

This is a vintage metal trinket tray commemorating the legendary French ocean liner SS Normandie. The relief design depicts the grand Art Deco ship cutting through stylized waves, framed by two icons of transatlantic glamour — the Eiffel Tower on one side and the Statue of Liberty on the other — symbolizing her route between Paris and New York.

The word “Normandie” is boldly cast across the top in classic 1930s typography, and the tray’s angular, geometric border reflects the Art Deco aesthetic of the era. Likely made as a souvenir in the mid-1930s, it captures the spirit of ocean travel’s golden age — when crossing the Atlantic was as much about style as destination.

Perfect as a catch-all tray or a collector’s display piece, it’s a striking nod to French maritime history and Art Deco design.
