Art Nouveau metal plateau stand. This is an art nouveau style metal bowl stand which can be used for oriental bowls, punch bowls or crystal bowls. It is 3.5 tall x 9 inches from end to end or 5.5 wide across top circle and 5 inches to 5.25 across the ledge inside the top rim. It is heavy and can hold a large bowl. I have a crystal bowl that is being sold separately atop it just to show you how it looks with a bowl on it. If you don't like the color you could spray it gold, silver, brass or pewter. I am not sure what the metal is; it might be white brass, or pot metal, but it is not iron even though it is very heavy. It is a great piece to make a statement in a traditional or Victorian style room! 4/15br
