{"product_id":"antique-needlepoint-top-occasional-pedestal-fern-stand","title":"Antique Needlepoint-Top Occasional Pedestal \/ Fern Stand","description":"\u003cp\u003eTall, tripod-form wooden pedestal featuring a circular top inset with a hand-worked needlepoint panel, framed by a molded rim secured with decorative upholstery tacks. The needlepoint depicts a floral bouquet rendered in muted tones against a soft ground, giving the surface a distinctly parlor-era character. The turned central column descends into three splayed legs, each shaped with flowing curves and accented by carved linear and foliate detailing, lending the piece a light but expressive silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nForms like this were commonly produced as fern stands or occasional pedestals, intended to hold lightweight decorative objects-potted ferns, small plants, or ornamental items-rather than heavy loads. The needlepoint top reinforces that function, serving as a decorative surface rather than a structural one. Pieces of this type were popular in Victorian and Edwardian interiors, where vertical accents and textile embellishments softened wood furniture and bridged the gap between upholstery and case goods.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMinor scratches and surface wear are present at the wooden top rim, consistent with age and light use. Needlepoint remains intact and well-seated, with no obvious tears or losses. Overall structure is stable, with expected wear to the finish across legs and column.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n13\" Diam x 31.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 18933 - 020926\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075009413163,"sku":"18933","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/132e8686-f7f3-55c3-8afb-b0ded096a832.jpg?v=1770853874","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/antique-needlepoint-top-occasional-pedestal-fern-stand","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
