My mother had this tray around the house for years. I think it was part of a set. It's hand painted. 
It's seen better day's. I am torn between trying to restore it or leave it as is.
If I keep it as is, I feel like I should put a clear coat of spray paint to keep it as is. What do you think ?

Glenda, it is a beautiful tray! I would just leave it as it is, no restoration. You are lucky to have it.
whoaaa now don't mess with that one sugar! Remember things don't have to be perfect to be beautiful. Seal it with a light coat of a matte finish or semi matte finish and leave be. What's for lunch? We can have tea and use that rockin tray hon!!
That tray is beautiful as it is. Don't paint over it.
Hugs,
Joanne
Hi Glenda,
The tray is beautiful. I would leave it as is and not do anything to it. My hubbie's addicted to Antique Roadshow and so many times they say you should even clean pieces because you'll take the patina off.
Looking forward to the party tomorrow, I already did my grocery shopping for "us girls".
Happy day,

that's shouldn't clean pieces to leave the patina on ;)
see ya tomorrow!
I would probably leave it as is too. It's beautiful and full of character.
Keep it as is!!! It's beautiful!
Hi Glenda!
It's beautiful! I would leave it as is, maybe a clear finish to protect it is all. The worn parts just give it more character and show how much it's been loved!
Hugs, Sherry
Hi Glenda,
Thanks for visiting me. I really appreciate:) Love your suggetions of "Chateau, so I'm thinking Chateau Ramblewood..still thinking about it and seeing if anyone else has some suggetions:) I'm thinking you should keep the tray as is, and spray a sealer on it. It's lovely:) Have a good weekend. Warmly, Deb
