Rare, Victorian "Fantasy" style hallstand in walnut. A wonderful example of the Fantasy style, this hall piece features a beautifully carved, large, spread-winged dragon hovering over the mirror top with it's tail curled around the right side. Each side of the mirror has a large standing wading bird in what looks like reeds. On the side with the shorter bird there is a small, serpentine shelf. The center of the base is set forward and is lined in tin for plants. The base is carved with a fierce faced creature. The original metal clips holding the mirror are shaped like small claws. Replaced, beveled mirror in excellent condition. Original finish in good condition. Size, 88" tall x 31" wide x 11" deep. Price 4600.
