Antique Victorian Quality Carved Mahogany Torchere Plant Stand Pedestal Column

A fine quality antique Victorian carved mahogany torchere of elegant proportions. Standing on a substantial circular platform base raised on three boldly carved lion paw feet, the turned column is beautifully detailed with a carved fluted urn-shaped knop and supports a circular dished top with finely carved bead moulded edge.

Originally designed as a torchere to display a decorative vase, bust or sculpture, these pieces are equally at home today as plant stands, lamp stands or elegant hall pedestals. The rich mahogany timber has developed a wonderful deep colour and patina over the years.

A particularly good example with excellent carving and a strong decorative presence. The quality of the carving to the base, lion paw feet and turned column places this above many examples found on the market.

Condition Report
