A quality decorative item that would look terrific mixed in with books in a study. Simple, harmonious cylindrical motifs are echoed, from the visually "telescoping" rings of the wooden base, to the brass knob mount, to the (fixed) brass rings. Circa 1930s-50s. Overall: measures 19.25"H x 13"D w/ a base measuring 6.25"H x 5.75"D. Staged on mahogany table & box to convey size & color. See less
