This unique plant stand has been in our family since the 70s when my parents purchased it from an antique shop in Lansing Michigan.The origin of the stand has been a mystery because we have never found another like it.It is very heavy cast iron with a marble top and unfortunately has no identifying marks. If anyone knows anything about it's history or origins I would be interested in any information that you might have

Welcome to CW :-)
Your stand is amazing, surely someone here will help.
Hi Bb2! 3 women with nude torso are an irresistible bait ;-))
Wonderful piece . I think Phil might know about it if he stops today .
Thank you Manikin.That gives me some hope that we will learn something about it's history and maybe it's value
Those are Satyresses, if that helps.
Have seen this caryatid pedestal sold with various bottoms, have found one but without the paint. I think it looks superb with no paint and they have it attached to a stone triangular base which gives the pedestal some nice added height and a look of authenticity. It may date to 1910 as some people have said, I am not sure, but the unpainted version is so beautiful with good detail to the face. I am transfixed to the image of this piece which is superb ! It does not sell for a lot of money but in this economy that seems exopected. I know if I had seen that table that I would have bid on it.
These are caryatids, not satyresses or whatever.
Wow, what a piece of furniture!
I want to thank everybody who keeps commenting & bringing this back on my screen . LOL !!
Actually Phil, satyress's seems right.
BB2 >I agree with that - the legs end in cloven hooves.
When you have human form holding up tables or buildings as in Greece, they are always called Caryatids, whether or not they are satyresses. Caryatids come in many form.
Lets quit splitting hairs. A satyress caryatid ! OK ?
Very unique! Love it!
