Rustic Tripod Plant Stand – Tuscany, Early 19th Century
An unusual and clever example of folk art, crafted from solid wood in Tuscany during the first half of the 19th century. This is a tripod stand with a clear functional purpose, most likely designed to support amphorae, basins, or terracotta vessels commonly used in kitchens or rural courtyards.
The three-legged structure, combined with two triangular shelves, suggests a design carefully conceived for stability on uneven floors—typical of rustic environments of the time.
The legs, shaped in a gently decorative, curved silhouette, still preserve the original patina and all the signs of use, bearing witness to its authenticity and daily utility.
A rare and curious piece, it can now be reinterpreted as a plant stand or display column, perfect for country-chic interiors or settings with an authentically rural spirit.
