ANTIQUE #SA1200496

Early 20th Century Brass & Cast Iron Drapers Display Stand

£140    $187    €164
An original early 20th-century freestanding shop display stand, most likely produced for use in a drapers or outfitters shop. Constructed with a heavy cast iron base with fluted detail and an elegant brass stem, the piece is topped with a distinctive pair of sweeping, curved arms terminating in brass ball finials.
 
Likely originally used in a drapers or outfitters shop for the display of lightweight garments such as blouses, shirtwaists or tops, with the twin curved arms designed to support fabric without creasing.
 
The stand features an adjustable height mechanism secured with a brass thumb screw, allowing it to be set at varying display levels. The shaped cast iron base provides excellent stability and retains its original surface with honest wear and traces of original black finish.
 
The sculptural, almost Art Nouveau-influenced form gives the piece strong visual presence, making it equally suitable today as a shop fitting, showroom display, or sculptural interior accent...
