This small brass footman stand is such a gem — featuring a pierced design of birds perched among flowering branches, with floral etching carried through to the elegant cabriole legs. Historically used by the fire to keep dishes warm, footmen like this are now sought-after collectibles.
Beyond its history, it’s also wonderfully practical — style it as a plant stand, a riser for layered displays, or a decorative accent that brings a touch of patina and charm to your home.
