Each stand measures approximately 14 inches in diameter and 2 inches high, an impressive size suitable for displaying large porcelain vases, jardinières, planters, decorative vessels, or other treasured objects.

The circular stands are constructed from multiple fitted hardwood sections and feature a deeply carved and pierced outer border with repeating lobed and foliate forms. Raised sculptural elements around the perimeter create an architectural silhouette, while the broad circular upper surface and central opening accommodate a substantial vessel or decorative object.

The hardwood displays attractive variations in tone and grain, along with a naturally aged surface that gives the pair considerable character. Their substantial proportions and dimensional carving make them decorative objects in their own right, even when not supporting a vase. See less
