Antique DARK Quarter Sawn Carved Oak Pedestal EMPIRE Lions Feet Arts Crafts 1905

Description

This outstanding, untouched ca. 1905 solid quarter sawn oak pedestal plant stand in the classical style was recently rescued from an attic and the glued dowel joints had dried and come loose, so we can ship it disassembled.  Standing 35 5/8" tall with 14" square top and 15" square at the carved hairly paw feet with toenails it boasts an acanthus carved turned center column that measures 4"-6" in diameter.  As the images show, it has original, almost opaque dark varnish overall and all of the visible wood grain is richly figured quarter sawn oak.  There are drying/shrinkage splits (tight and stable) at some of the glue joints on the stem and the top has separated at its laminations/glue joints as pictured.  It will be shipped in 3 pieces (probably 2 packages).
