Plant table with openwork tiers – cast metal in Victorian style, second half 20th century

Plant stand with pierced shelves and claw feet

This decorative plant stand or étagère 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.

Why we chose this piece

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.

Style and 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.
