About the Item

Display a vase, bust, or planter on this finely carved pedestal. Crafted in France circa 1860, the tall fruitwood sellette stands on a square molded base with a sculptural central column depicting a bearded gentleman in formal attire. The figure raises both arms above his head to support a circular top, detailed with rope and pinecone carvings. The carving showcases remarkable craftsmanship, with expressive facial features, finely rendered folds, and naturalistic texture throughout. The pedestal retains its original rich walnut patina and warm luster, reflecting both age and artistry. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this whimsical yet refined piece adds character and sculptural presence to any interior. Measures: 12" W x 12" D x 42.75" H.
