Description from the seller
Elegant and slender decorative pedestal / plant stand in turned wood, characterized by a scenographic barley twist column, an ornamental element inspired by the English furniture tradition of Victorian taste.
With its **100 cm in height**, the pedestal features a particularly harmonious silhouette: the long spiral column is enriched at the ends with turned and molded elements and rests on a wide **shaped circular base with a diameter of 30 cm**, which provides stability to the whole.
Particularly interesting is the **top circular surface with a diameter of 26 cm**. Unlike traditional completely flat tops, this one has a **slightly recessed surface, surrounded by a rounded and raised edge**, almost forming a small tray. A detail that adds depth and movement to the profile and makes the top especially suitable for accommodating and enhancing a vase, a plant, a sculpture, or another decorative object.
The warm tone of the wood, the turned shapes, and the sinuous movement of the column give it an elegant and refined presence. Thanks to its vertical development it also occupies a compact footprint while creating a **strong decorative impact**, making it suitable for classic, eclectic, vintage, or even contemporary interiors as a contrasting element.
The pedestal is **solid and stable** and presents overall in good vintage condition. Normal signs of time and use are present, including some superficial marks on the top and small marks on the base, visible in the photographs and consistent with the object’s lived character.
**Dimensions**
* Height: 100 cm
* Top surface diameter: 26 cm
* Base diameter: 30 cm
* Weight: about 4.8 kg
An elegant furnishing element with a strong visual presence, enhanced by the characteristic **barley twist column and the unusual recessed top with a raised rim**, details that give it personality and decorative charm.
