Excellent materials and artisanal craftsmanship are to be credited for such a quality collectible piece like this one. One of the features we find extraordinary is the delicate piercings found on the horizontal surface of the triangular shaped top of this small stand that can support a statue or potted planter. It appears to be delicate with a fretwork that looks as wispy as thread lace and yet it is sold heavy iron. Also noteworthy are the scrolling wings that adorn the three legs that stand on curling feet. There is no makers mark or signature discoverable. It was obviously once painted in all black. It is s now covered in a rusted dust of commensurate patina. Like most items that have patination its up to the next owner to either bring back the black or allow it to continue its aging process. less
