A handsome tall English round-top table or plant stand of brass from the Aesthetic Movement period, circa 1890, featuring an ornately designed openwork circular surface atop a slender support over three legs resting on ball feet, in the manner of Christopher Dresser.

Christopher Dresser (4 July 1834 – 24 November 1904) was a British designer and design theorist, now widely known as one of the first and most important independent designers. He was a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement and a major contributor to the allied Anglo-Japanese or Modern Style (British Art Nouveau style), both of which originated in England and had long-lasting international influence.
