Important note for collectors:
This form was originally offered with hanging chains and a glass element—and it’s completely normal for surviving examples to be missing the glass and/or chains. These pieces were used, moved, and occasionally tipped over; glass inserts and chains often didn’t survive decades of everyday life. This stand presents beautifully as-is and displays exactly as many authentic examples do.
