{"product_id":"antique-wooden-stand-c1900","title":"Antique Ebonized Cloche Stand or Riser","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis little ebonized stand once held a glass dome over something worth showing off, a stuffed bird, a spray of wax flowers, a small clock. The lathe turned foot and flat disc top are simple, but the wear tells the real story. Years of setting a glass dome down and lifting it back up have worn the black finish through to the lighter wood right at the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 5.5 in. Diameter x 2 in. H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Surface | Black ebonized finish, worn through to a lighter toned wood at the rim, concentrated where a glass dome's edge would have rested and been lifted repeatedly. Whether the finish itself is paint, stain, or a shellac type lacquer has not yet been confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Primary Material | Turned wood, ebonized\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Period | Antique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Style | Continues the Victorian and Aesthetic Movement taste for black finished turned wood display stands.

It has worn through to a lighter toned wood at the rim in several places, concentrated exactly where the edge of a glass dome would have rested and been lifted on and off over the years. This is age appropriate wear from intended use, not damage, and it runs consistently around the rim rather than sitting in one isolated spot. The exact medium of the black finish, whether paint, stain, or a shellac type lacquer, has not yet been confirmed, and this row will be updated once that's established. The surface also carries light general scuffing and fine surface scratches consistent with handling and age. No losses, cracks, or structural instability. The piece is stable and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740516516118,"sku":"AMD-13650","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_FranceContainerInventory-10740.jpg?v=1788546455","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-wooden-stand-c1900","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
