The stand features a compact square top measuring approximately 22 cm by 22 cm, providing an ideal surface for displaying a jardinière, potted plant, vase, sculpture, lamp or other decorative object. It is raised upon sturdy square legs, creating a clean and well-balanced silhouette characteristic of understated Edwardian design. The legs are united by a useful lower shelf, which provides additional display space while also adding strength and stability to the construction. Throughout, the oak displays particularly attractive natural grain with a rich, warm colour and established patina, highlighting the character of the timber and quality of the craftsmanship. Standing an impressive 90 cm high while occupying a footprint of only 33 by 32 cm, the stand offers excellent vertical presence without requiring significant floor space. Its tall, slender proportions make it particularly suitable for a hallway, drawing room, conservatory, bedroom or entrance hall. Although traditionally intended as a plant or jardinière stand, its versatile design makes it equally suitable as a pedestal for displaying a lamp, sculpture, vase or decorative object within both traditional and contemporary interiors. Presented in good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and historic use consistent with its early 20th-century origin. A highly desirable example of Edwardian occasional furniture, combining beautifully aged oak, sturdy construction, a practical lower shelf and wonderfully versatile proportions. Dimensions: Height: 90 cm Width: 33 cm Depth: 32 cm Top: 22 × 22 cm Weight: Approximately 8 kg (18 lb). See less
