Exquisite Pair of Georgian-Style Mahogany Pedestal Stands with Brass Bowls, Circa Late 18th-Early 19th Century
Elevate your home with this stunning pair of antique mahogany pedestal stands, exuding the timeless elegance of the Georgian or Regency period (circa late 1700s to early 1800s). Crafted from rich, dark mahogany with a warm, lustrous patina, these stands are a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era, perfect for collectors or those seeking to add a touch of historical grandeur to their decor.
Each stand features:
- Ornate Mahogany Construction: The stands showcase beautifully turned columns, fluted detailing, and gracefully curved cabriole legs, characteristic of the Neoclassical design popular in Georgian and Regency England or America. The wood’s deep reddish-brown hue is complemented by a smooth finish, revealing the natural grain and age.
- Brass Bowls with Patina: Atop each stand sits a large, shallow brass bowl, displaying a lovely aged patina with hints of verdigris and oxidation—adding character and authenticity. These bowls, likely original, measure approximately 9.5 inches in diameter, ideal for holding lush plants, flowers, or decorative accents.
- Functional Drawers: Below the bowls, each stand features a small, triangular drawer with brass pulls, offering discreet storage for gardening tools, small trinkets, or personal items—a practical yet elegant touch.
- Tripod Base: The sturdy, tripod-style base with elegantly scrolled feet ensures stability and adds to the stands’ graceful silhouette, making them both functional and striking as corner pieces or focal points.
Standing 32 inches tall, this pair is in good antique condition, with signs of age and use that only enhance their charm. Minor wear to the wood and natural patina on the brass bowls tell the story of their history. These stands could have served as plant stands, washstands, or decorative pedestals in a formal parlor, entryway, or conservatory, reflecting the refined tastes of the Georgian or Regency elite.
Priced at $1900 for the pair (or best offer), these stands are a rare opportunity to own a matched set of antique furniture that combines functionality with unparalleled beauty.
