Lot 27: A Victorian Style Two-Tier Cast Metal Circular Plant Stand
A Victorian-style two-tier plant stand or accent table manufactured from cast metal, possibly a copper-based alloy or iron. The stand features two circular tiers, each decorated with intricate pierced openwork consisting of scrolling foliate, floral, and shell motifs. The piece is supported on three ornate cabriole-style legs with matching foliate-cast decoration. The surface displays a heavy and consistent greenish-grey verdigris patina, indicating significant age and exposure to an outdoor environment. No maker’s marks or manufacturer’s stamps are visible on the item. Contemporary auction lot stickers are present on the tiers.
Condition report:
The stand is in weathered condition, exhibiting extensive surface oxidation and a heavy patina throughout. The casting appears to be structurally sound with no visible breaks, losses, or evidence of repair. The surface finish is heavily distressed consistent with outdoor use.
