Art Deco piëdestal plant table from circa 1930–1940, made of oak in the Netherlands, dark brown, height 80 cm, top about 20 × 20 cm, leg spacing about 26 cm, weight 1.8 kg, in good condition with minor signs of aging and spotting.
Description from the seller
Beautiful Art Deco plant stand (pedestal). The table is made of oak. It weighs about 2 kg, is 80 cm tall, and the top surface is about 20 cm x 20 cm. The legs are about 26 cm apart. The table probably dates from the 1930s of the last century. You can regard the table as an Art Deco piece of furniture. It isn’t a refined piece of furniture, but a sturdy table that could have stood in any home in the pre-war years. The decorations placed between the legs under the top are very beautiful to look at; these were hand-carved by the original cabinetmaker. They are all four different as well; pure handwork, which makes this folk-table so charming!
The table has been refurbished at some point. This was done neatly, but it’s a pity that the restorer used Phillips screws (see photos); they should be replaced.
Due to temperature changes, the top surface, in particular, has a slight bow (see photos). Also in the wood of the top and legs there are light signs of wear. These signs of use are natural and appropriate for such an old plant stand.
The oak is dark-stained. The table can be used as a plant stand, but also as a pedestal or telephone table (see photos). The legs taper slightly toward the top, which gives the piece a somewhat chic appearance (see photos). As a side table it is actually a bit too tall. In any setting, this table makes a nicely fitting piece of furniture. Because the table is quite tall, it is especially suitable for a plant with hanging branches and leaves.
The table is still particularly stable. There is absolutely no movement in the joints, which is quite exceptional, as there is often a bit of wobble in this kind of furniture.
This plant stand is carefully packed and shipped insured.
