Modelled in the French Rococo revival taste, each circular level features dense openwork acanthus leaves, swirling tendrils, and a central medallion motif, surrounded by a raised gadrooned border with delicate foliate pendants suspended around the perimeter. The structure is secured by three slender upright brass supports embellished with classical relief mouldings and cartouches at every tier junction. At the summit, the supports extend past the upper shelf into decorative curved finial brackets. Beneath the lower tier, the uprights transition into gently splayed legs with foliate shoulders, terminating in cast paw feet that provide stable three-point ground contact. Dating probably from the mid-to-late 20th century, this piece functions equally well as a traditional jardinière or plant stand, an occasional bedside lamp table, or a compact tiered étagère for displaying curios. Measuring 65 cm in height and 31 cm in width and depth across the circular tiers, the graduated openwork construction allows light to filter through, presenting a light profile while offering useful display space across three levels. The cast brass retains a mellow golden lustre alongside natural patina settled within the cast recesses, accompanied by light handling marks consistent with age and normal indoor use. All structural fastenings remain solid and rigid, making this an eye-catching and functional accent piece for traditional, eclectic, or Regency-inspired interiors. See less
