Antique Oak Folding Monoplane Cake Stand
This antique oak folding monoplane cake stand is offered as a lot of traditional tea-time serving furniture. Its folding construction allows the stand to be opened for use and closed for storage, a practical feature that has long been associated with this style of cake stand.
The stand is made from oak and has an arched carrying handle across the top, supported by two upright posts. Circular oak plates are carried on pivoting arms, arranged in tiers so that several serving surfaces can be used at once. The base is joined by a lighter-toned cross stretcher, and the feet are splayed to give the stand a stable footprint. Its dark oak colour and simple, functional lines are typical of the furniture of its period.
Condition and Collectability
The stand shows the darkened, mellowed finish of aged oak, along with visible marks and wear consistent with its age. The plates, uprights and cross stretcher all remain in place and form part of the overall design. Those looking for an antique oak piece with its original folding form and traditional character may find this stand of interest, whether for a collection of antique serving ware or for display in a period-style interior.
