Carved ram's head brackets sit at the top of each leg, with a turned acanthus pendant drop beneath, supporting a round tray top with a raised gallery rim and gold-toned banded trim. A striking architectural pair — well suited to flanking a doorway, mantel, or entry, or for displaying sculpture or plants.

Likely a high-quality mid-to-late 20th century reproduction (circa 1960s–1980s) in the Neoclassical/Empire tradition; no maker attribution. Sold as a true matched pair.

Condition: Both tops show warping/bowing, likely from water exposure over time (consistent with use as plant stands). The legs have had some prior glue repair work. Structurally stable, but priced to reflect the possible restoration a buyer may want to do to bring them to full display condition if they are not used as plant stands. See less
