Description: Special Victorian Renaissance Revival Pedestal with
bold incised ebony decoration on the circular top. The interior surface
(seven inch diameter) has a small shadow and tiny hole where a previous
owner secured something. The center stem is well shaped with gilt
incising, ebony, and carved leaves. There are very unusual side vertical
supports with gilt wooden ladies heads, large rosettes, and delicate
finials with exceptional original patinated gilt, accented with ebony decoration.
The base is circular with corresponding decoration and ends with three
raised curved carvings (one small tip is missing). We have never
seen this attractive form before.
