Description

This is an antique hanging plant stand. An English, ebonised mahogany and brass parcel gilt height adjustable Aspidistra or fruiting vine planter in Aesthetic Movement taste, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1885.

Exceptional example of parcel gilt decoration and delightfully adjustable

Presents a desirable aged patina and in gently time-worn antique order

Deep ebonised tones accentuate the turned and collared frame and circular base

Gilt detail adds a distinguished contrast with warm golden hues

Glazed ceramic planter dish adorned with hand-painted foliate relief

Set upon a rising pole, activated with a rare and pleasing push lever action

Fully extended, the planter sits at a height of 6' 3'' - ideal for suspending trailing vines

Inner diameter narrows to a minimum of 4'' giving potential for hosting larger candles

Bead and shell detail adorns the fluted support stand in colourful ceramic bulbs

Acanthus bulb and broad leaf accents further establish the strong foliate motif

Standing upon a trio of broad brass feet, with Japanese influenced cloud detail

Strong aesthetic period overtones, with a quality and taste to complement EW Godwin's Anglo-Japanese sensibilities

This is a fascinating antique hanging plant stand, with a strong Aesthetic Movement appearance to the Japanese influenced ebonised and foliate accents. A treat for any room, with adjustable height to suit longer hanging plants. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home.

The Aesthetic Movement, spanning the late 19th century, prioritised art for arts sake, often featuring ebonised wood, gilded details, and Japanese-inspired motifs that broke away from heavy Victorian ornamentation.

These pieces were typically crafted from hardwoods such as beech or walnut with ebonised finishes, often complemented by brass fittings, ceramic inserts, or cast iron weighted bases for stability.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct construction methods such as hand-cut joinery, screw-threaded height adjustment mechanisms, and natural patination on the wood and metal surfaces consistent with late 19th-century manufacture.

An antique stand can serve as a sculptural focal point in a modern room, used traditionally to display trailing houseplants or repurposed to hold a contemporary ceramic sculpture.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, applying a microcrystalline wax periodically to protect the finish.
