The dog is rendered in cast iron with a wonderful, original blackened patina that highlights its musculature and Art Deco line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stand is supported by an elegant, openwork column with stylized geometric and foliate motifs, terminating in a heavy, tri-footed lotus base that provides excellent stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt retains its original, removable copper tray with a scalloped, ruffled edge. The center of the copper dish is beautifully etched with a Japanese-inspired crane or heron amongst reeds - a detail typical of the Japonisme influence so prevalent in French Deco ironwork of this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the manner of Edgar Brandt and the great French ferronniers. Perfect as a side table for a cigar lounge, as a small drinks table, as an entryway catch-all for keys, or as a pedestal for a sculpture. A true conversation piece that combines animalier sculpture with superb metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 27.5 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWidth: 8 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDepth: 8 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eArt Decor\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eIron, Copper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eEarly-20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" type=\"button\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51529087910194,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/f_51238832_1785519213590_bg_processed.jpg?v=1785531868","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/french-art-deco-whippet-smoking-stand-cast-iron-circa-1925-1930","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
