<p>[QUOTE="Gatoblanconz, post: 9757845, member: 14927"]The base is the same width and length dimensions as the top. With the same type of edging profile. And both have the same degree of wear and scarring (maybe more on the base because it gets kicked more). The column gets shielded by the top and the bottom from being hit.</p><p>The stain color is exactly the same across the piece.</p><p>I feel it's one piece in terms of age. If the base looks newer underneath then I would more likely conclude that the whole piece is newer (although still old) just based on an older style. Having said that the timber on the inside of the base has never been exposed.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are your thoughts about why the base is not original? Is it because a square base is not traditional? It's quite a large tall palm stand and very solid. It can hold something very heavy with stability. It feels like it should be in a large room or hotel lobby or something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
