Claudine French Provincial Two Tier Stand, Scrolled Metal, Antique Gold

A tall scrolled stand with two galleried trays, in aged gold.

Claudine is a two-tier stand in antique gold metal. A scrolled frame curls up to a crest at the top and down to curled feet, and it carries two round trays, each ringed with a pierced gallery rail of little arches and circles. The gold is worked back to darker tones, so it reads as an aged, found piece.

It stands about 82 cm tall on a footprint of roughly 32 by 26 cm, so it sits on the floor beside a chair or against a wall. Use it as a drinks stand, with a glass and a few small things on top and bottles on the lower tray, or as a two-tier display for plants, candles or books. The bottles and glass in the photos are styling and are not included.

Why we love it

• ◆ Two galleried trays, each tray is ringed with a pierced rail of little arches and circles.
• ◆ Scrolled frame, curls of metal rise to a crest at the top and finish in curled feet.
• ◆ A drinks stand or a display, bottles and a glass, or plants, candles and books.
• ◆ Aged gold finish, the worn gold gives it a collected, vintage look.

How to style it

A few ways to bring Claudine into the room.

• Stand it beside an armchair as a drinks caddy, a glass on top and bottles below.
• Use it as a two-tier plant stand by a window.
• Keep it in a bathroom for folded towels, bottles and a candle.
• Pair it with pieces from candle holders and planters.

Care & Keeping

Wipe with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth and dry it straight after. Keep it indoors and out of standing water, as moisture can mark the finish over time. Wipe up any spills on the trays promptly rather than letting them sit.

Because the Claudine stand is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture and tone are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
