Week 3: Plant & Lamp Stands (NEW LESSON!)

They may have been designed to hold a simple houseplant or illuminate a cozy corner, but antique plant and lamp stands are anything but ordinary!

Join Pat Pixley for Week 3 of History & Appreciation of Antiques as she introduces a BRAND-NEW LESSON exploring Plant & Lamp Stands!

From beautifully carved Victorian wooden stands to ornate metal designs and decorative pedestal tables, these fascinating pieces reflect the changing styles, craftsmanship, and everyday living of generations past.

Discover how plant and lamp stands evolved, the materials and techniques used to create them, and the distinctive features that can help identify their age, style, and purpose. Learn how these once-common household furnishings became treasured antiques and collectible pieces of decorative history.

Whether you’re an antique furniture enthusiast, a collector, or simply curious about that unusual little stand tucked away in Grandma’s house, this new lesson is sure to shed some light on the past!
