<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 164110, member: 37"]As mentioned, lamp stands or tables. They are a throwback to the old candle stands. Probably did not have glass when sold but a lot of people fitted such with glass. Problem is that once something gets spilled, it usually runs under the glass. People often didn't clean properly and the table gets ruined. Have seen many an old table or dresser with glass ruined in such manner over the years. What was meant to protect the top serves as an agent for destruction in the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
