Each planting tray is surrounded by finely pierced latticework with a delicate beaded edge, giving this architectural piece an unusually light and decorative quality.

Gracefully curved supports connect the three tiers, while the lower stand rests on an elegant tripod base with scrolling legs and petite feet.
