The deep black surface highlights delicate arabesque motifs at the corners, while four barley twist supports are joined by spiral stretchers above a stepped plinth with small turned feet. Nicely proportioned and stable, the piece remains in good timeworn condition with light surface scratches, gentle edge wear, minor inlay losses. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eReflecting the period's taste for exuberant shapes and decorative gravitas, such stands were designed to elevate a prized object such as a bronze, porcelain vase, or small planter within the salon.
