Solid Brass Butler Tray Table Hinge
This solid brass butler tray table hinge by Horton Brasses is the definitive hardware for classic butler trays and campaign-style furniture. A butler tray table is defined by its versatility—serving as a elegant side table one moment and a functional tray the next. Our 2-7/8″ Solid Brass Butler Tray Hinges are engineered to facilitate this transition with absolute precision.
Machined from solid brass extrusions, these hinges are designed to lock the tray “gallery” sides at a crisp 90-degree angle when upright, and then fold perfectly flat to create an expanded serving surface. Unlike stamped steel alternatives that feel flimsy, these hinges provide the “snap” and rigidity required for high-end furniture.
Engineering Details for the Discriminating Woodworker
- Integrated 90-Degree Stop: Built-in stops ensure that tray sides stay perfectly vertical when in the “up” position, providing a secure perimeter for glassware and tea service.
- Precision Machining: Because these hinges are machined from solid brass, they feature incredibly tight tolerances. This prevents the “rattle” and lateral movement common in mass-produced tray hardware.
- Flush-Mount Design: When the tray is open, the hinge leaves sit completely flush with the wood surface, ensuring a smooth, snag-free transition from the tray bottom to the leaves.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: The substantial leaf thickness provides the torque resistance needed to hold tray sides firmly, even when under the pressure of frequent folding.
