Know before you buy
No, the needlepoint is exposed to showcase the texture of the hand-stitched French cotton thread. Because it is an open design, it is best suited for holding dry items like keys, coins, or jewelry rather than liquids.
You can gently clean the needlepoint by using a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air to remove dust from the stitches. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as these can damage the cotton thread and the wood frame.
Yes, this tray offers an optional engraved monogram feature. This is a great way to customize the piece for a gift or to add a personal touch to your own entryway.
The tray measures 9.5 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 1.4 inches high. It is sized perfectly for a console table or dresser without taking up too much surface area.
The solid wood frame features a natural finish. This provides a clean, neutral look that highlights the wood grain while allowing the vibrant colors of the Texas flag needlepoint to stand out.
