1950s Maxey folk art metal tray, featuring a vibrant “Home Sweet Home” hearth scene in classic country reds, oranges, and earth tones. This large oval tin tray is a wonderful example of mid-century Americana, with a hand-painted folk art style that captures the cozy feeling of a country cottage or farmhouse kitchen.

The image showcases a crackling fireplace with kettle and broom, surrounded by traditional homey accents and the comforting "Home Sweet Home" message centered at the top. The tray’s gently scalloped edges and rolled rim frame the artwork beautifully.
