A RARE & STUNNING ANTIQUE FRENCH WEDDING MARIAGE GILT TOLEWARE DISPLAY STAND WITH ORIGINAL WAXED FLORAL WEDDING TIARA STILL DISPLAYED ,Circa.mid-late 1800's- MAKING A VERSATILE & FABULOUS DISPLAY STAND FOR ANY FRENCH-INSPIRED SHABBY-CHIC INTERIOR. THIS WOULD HAVE ORIGINALLY SAT UNDER AN IMPOSING TALL GLASS DOME WHICH WOULD HAVE CONTAINED THIS BEAUTIFULLY ORNATE DECORATED GILT TOLEWARE STAND WITHIN,-SADLY THE DOME HAS LONG GONE AS THEY ARE EASILY BREAKABLE or OFTEN BOUGHT & USED FOR TAXIDERMY INSTEAD. THIS STUNNINGLY DECORATIVE STAND DISPLAYS A WONDERFUL OVAL DEEP RED VELVET UPHOLSTERED-STYLE CUSHION (THE DEEP RED COLOUR SYNONOMOUS WITH LOVE) UPON WHICH A BRIDE WOULD LAY HER FLORAL TIARA or HEADRESS FROM HER WEDDING TO BE PRESERVED & TREASURED.

THESE SUPERB VINTAGE TRADITIONALLY FRENCH PIECES ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY SCARCE TO SOURCE AND ON THE RARE OCCASIONS WHEN WE DO FIND THEM, THEY ARE USUALLY IN A TERRIBLY BROKEN STATE, OR,AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED- THE GLASS DOME IS MISSING.IN THIS CASE THE GORGEOUS STAND IS COMPLETE AND STILL RETAINS THE PRECIOUS WEDDING FLORAL TIARA!AND DECORATIVE FLOWERS INTERWOVEN AROUND THE GILT TOLEWARE FRAME. STANDS APPROX. A MAGNIFICENT 16.75 INCHES TALL x 9.50 inches WIDE and 6.00 inches DEEP. THE DETAIL IS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL WITH THE CUSHION BEING UPHOLSTERED WITH LITTLE GILT FLOWERS CONTAINING A TINY PEARL IN THE CENTRE. THE FRAME IS MADE UP OF ALTERNATE DAISY-LIKE GILT FLOWERS ALTERNATING WITH AN IVY-TYPE LEAF,AND THE SWALLOW HOLDS A TINY FLORAL GARLAND RING IN ITS' BEAK. THERE ARE TWO TINY BIRDS FLANKING THE LOWER EDGES BEING RIDDEN BY LITTLE CHERUBS-QUITE EXQUISITE! EVIDENTLY ROMANTIC THROUGHOUT-THE CUSHION IN POPPY-RED VELVET,A LITTLE DUSTY,FRAMED WITHIN A BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED GILT BORDER & OOZING NOSTALGIC CHARM & CHARACTER. THIS ITEM IS IN EXACTLY THE STATE WE FOUND IT AND WOULD PROBABLY RESPOND WELL TO GENTLE CLEANING. THERE ARE FOUR FRAMED MIRRORS IN TOTAL-THE PRINCIPLE MIRROR STUNNINGLY HANDPAINTED WITH FLOWERS,TWO TRIANGULAR SIDE-MIRRORS AND AN OBLONG MIRROR BELOW WHICH IS A LITTLE SILVERED-TO BE EXPECTED FROM SUCH A VINTAGE TREASURE-A MOST WONDERFUL PIECE OF SHABBY FRENCH CHIC TO RE-USE FOR JEWELLERY DISPLAY IN ANY BOUDOIR!-ANY QUERIES,PLEASE E-MAIL
