Victorian style cast metal plant stand etagere with claw feet, late 20th c.
This decorative plant stand or etagere has two round, pierced shelves with rich scrollwork and rosettes, supported by three cast legs with masks, acanthus leaves and claw feet. It is a cast metal plant stand in Victorian style, made in the second half of the 20th century. Its small size makes it ideal for a house plant, a candlestick or a small stack of books beside the sofa. Design. For the decoration: there is a surprising amount of detail on such a small piece, from the lace-like shelves to the little faces on the legs. The grey, slightly oxidised tone gives it a weathered garden look that contrasts beautifully with greenery. Condition. Good, used condition. The stand is complete, with no breaks in the pierced casting. The metal has a grey oxidised patina with some dirt in the recesses and brownish discolouration, especially on the lower legs and claw feet. The legs are fixed to the shelves with slotted screws. Slight casting irregularities are typical of this kind of casting. Please see the photos for details. Dimensions: height 45.3 cm, diameter approx. 22 cm. In the interior. It suits a romantic, country or brocante interior, a conservatory, a balcony or a bathroom. Also charming as a small side table or to raise a plant in a window corner.
