This wonderful antique belonged to my Mom who is just shy of 101 years old and since downsizing to a smaller assisted living home is offering this up to someone who might enjoy it for many years as she had. Pairs nicely with Art Deco, Arts & Crafts, or Art Nouveau decor.

Well made and works perfectly. Can be used or stored as it folds down as photos show. Heavy substantial piece and has all 3 rails which many of the older ones found on the internet are missing.

Bronze with lovely patina. Very elegant.

Kept in NO smoking home.
