Overall Design:
• Material: Wrought iron, painted in a weathered green or verdigris finish, which gives it an antique, garden-patina look.
• Structure: The piece has two main shelves — one on top and one on the bottom — with an open, airy design.
• Style: Victorian or French garden style with elaborate wire curls, spirals, and loops. The metalwork is graceful and whimsical, resembling stylized vines or tendrils.
• Function: Likely intended as a plant stand, though it could also serve as a decorative shelving unit for displaying shell art, ceramics, or other vintage décor.

Notable Features:
• Top Shelf: Surrounded by raised sides formed by looping vertical wires, creating a basket-like enclosure ideal for potted plants or decorative containers.
• Side Panels: Each side features an elegant sunburst or wave motif flanked by spiral scrolls — the wavy lines could evoke seaweed or radiating sunlight.
• Bottom Shelf: Similar to the top but with more open access; scrollwork on the sides adds extra detail and visual interest.
• Feet: Slightly curled at the ends for both stability and decorative flair.

Condition:
•structurally intact with some visible oxidation or verdigris buildup, common in vintage outdoor ironwork. Adds character if used in a garden or coastal-themed setting. See less
