The dramatic proportions and refined silhouette give the piece a strikingly architectural quality, while the restrained black and gilt palette lends it a surprisingly modern decorative presence. Subtle hand-painted decoration remains visible to the undertier, adding warmth and character to the surface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eFar less commonly encountered than standard Napoleon III jardinières or pedestals, this is a particularly sculptural example, ideal as a plant stand, torchère, or display pedestal for ceramics or sculpture. The piece shows minor historic restoration to the underside of the top, consistent with age and use. Circa 1880. Diameter of the top is 25cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCirca: Late 19th Century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: France\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: In very good antique condition commensurate with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 114cm h x 45cm w x 45cm d \/ Diameter of the top is 25cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRef: 6359\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AD \u0026 PS Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56837637341570,"sku":"6359\/6680","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/3866\/9870\/files\/6359-TallNapoleonIIItolepedestal-1.jpg?v=1786383824","url":"https:\/\/adpsantiques.com\/products\/19th-century-french-napoleon-iii-tole-peinte-pedestal-stand","provider":"AD \u0026 PS Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
