Vintage Black & Gold Three-Tier Folding Cake Stand / Tea Stand

A wonderfully decorative three-tier folding cake stand featuring a black lacquered finish accented with gold detailing and charming hand-painted-style fruit and floral motifs. Three round serving platforms pivot outward for use and fold vertically against the frame when not needed.

Inspired by the traditional English cake and tea stands popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, this elegant piece was designed for presenting cakes, pastries, tea sandwiches and other treats. Today, it makes an equally beautiful display stand for collected objects, small plants, pottery or decorative accessories.

The slender turned supports, shaped upper rail, gold banding and individually decorated tiers give this stand tremendous character. Age-related surface wear, scratches and losses to the painted finish are present, particularly around the feet and edges, adding to its wonderfully timeworn appearance.

A charming and unusual accent piece that would be especially at home in an English country, French country, traditional or collected European interior.
