Late 19th century Victorian teapot stand - quite a large one, with four little ball feet. The motif in the beadwork is echoed in the parquetry around the lower edge of the frame. Berlin wool work, with beads. Condition: Frame is in very good condition, just a few marks and scars as befits age. The Berlin work has some absences (possibly small insect damage) and the beads have many losses, especially in the large areas of white surrounding the shaped motif. Actually, as these are fairly evenly spread out, it just gives a speckled effect. However, the thread of the beads is very fragile, and losses will continue. Interesting piece of Victoriana, perfect for display. Measures 23.5 cm square and 4.75 cm high (9.1/4 inches by 1.3/4 inches).
