Featured Edwardian plant stand

I picked this up.thaught it was elegant

Looking it it up there seem to be alot similar showing up as Edwardian plant stands and some listed as Victorian plant stands.

Can anyone tell me how can you tell the difference?

Mine measures 32 inches in height by 12 inches in diameter

Thank you

 

A Victorian stand would, generally, be more ornate. However, both terms really relate to time frames. Victorian era is 1837–1901. Edwardian is 1901-1910. I suppose this stand could have been produced in either time frame, or neither.

 

Thanks Verybrad.
Am also presuming its mahogany.am curuous how can you tell if its mahogany or another wood?

 

your question is unclear to me.

do you mean , how can Brad tell the difference......or how is it possible to tell the difference ?

 

Sorry i should have been clearer.im asking how is it possible to tell the difference.I think my plant stand looks on the lighter side of similar designed mahogony stands on line

 

I understand now .

 

Can you tell what kind of screws (if they are screws) are in the recessed holes?

 

I was wondering that, too... I would have taken it for contemporary... but WDIK.

 

here close up of screws.they look fairly old looking at them.but im no expert

 

Really doesn't look like mahogany. Maybe birch with a stain. Could be European in origin. If so, beech rather than birch.

 

Brad's right re Victorian or Edwardian.I weight towards Edwardian .

 

Trying to compare online and most of the examples are described as mahogany.i wonder would birch or beech have been used much to make these plant stands
