The basket is built from fine metal wire, its horizontal bands crimped into a subtle ripple and held in place by vertical ribs that curve toward a slender, wrapped central stem. Below, the base opens into an arched framework of sweeping wire, where crossed diagonal lines form an X-shaped lattice centered on two coiled rosette medallions, and a small matching rosette anchors the lower ring. Joints are secured with hand-twisted wire wrapping, a hallmark of artisanal metalwork, while three slender legs finish in delicate scrolled feet that lift the piece lightly off the floor. The white painted finish is beautifully distressed, worn thin in places to reveal warm flecks of orange rust and bare metal that create a layered, sun-bleached patina. The openwork construction keeps the stand airy and visually light, casting lovely shadows and allowing trailing foliage to spill through the basket.

Place this stand in a sunroom, entryway, or covered patio to showcase a fern, trailing pothos, or seasonal blooms; it also works indoors as a sculptural accent beside a sofa or window. Its weathered charm complements Boho, Farmhouse, Cottage, Shabby Chic, and Eclectic interiors. Measuring 18¼ inches wide, 16¾ inches deep, and 29 inches high, it suits corners and slim spaces comfortably. For care, dust gently with a soft dry brush and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can lift the aged paint. Use a plastic liner or saucer to keep moisture off the wire, and shelter it from prolonged rain to slow further rust. The stand is in good vintage condition, structurally sound, with visible rust, paint loss, and oxidation consistent with age. Bring it home today. See less
