DescriptionCarved and turned wooden smoking stand with an elaborately turned and carved standard rising from a carved tri-pod base with ball-and-claw feet and supporting a small dish-shaped cup to receive a glass ash holder. The standard displays a series of baluster turnings at the bottom with a short section of spiral turning (or barley twist) above and surmounted by an elongated baluster form with carved acanthus leaves and beading. The tri-pod base has friezes of beading and lambrequins in low relief divided with a graceful cove molding.ProvenanceFrom 1964
