This petite sized oak umbrella stand features spool turned legs and sides, with carved finials at the top, bun feet and a galvanize metal removable drip pan. "While spool-turned is the common term, a more accurate description might be ball-turned or button-turned. The former refers to the distinct round shape of the turning, the latter refers to the lathe technique used by button makers in which a rod was shaped into a series of small balls and then sawn apart. What they have in common is their mimicking ornate, hand-carved English and Dutch pieces of the 16th and 17th centuries." Very sturdy piece with lovely old patina.
