19th Century Colonial teak Pedestal

$295.00
| /

Start at the foot. A square plinth wears a diamond lattice pattern in chocolate brown, with small green and teal accents between the diamonds, and above it a full, rounded body rises in cream paint worn thin over brown. The cream has chipped and cracked in layers, so the surface reads like a map of its own history. This antique teak pedestal has the kind of finish that no one can reproduce.

At 12 inches across and 9 inches tall, it stands comfortably on a console, a bookshelf, a mantel or a side table. A flat black disc sits in the top, a level seat for a pillar candle, a bowl or a small sculpture. Use it as a candle stand, a pedestal for a plant or a piece of art, or a riser that lifts a vase to eye level. The cream and chocolate tones work in quiet, neutral rooms, and the teal flecks pick up blues and greens in nearby objects. Because it is teak, it also suits a covered porch or patio, where the paint will keep weathering.

Q&A
1. What is the diamond pattern on the foot?
The square plinth is patterned with a diamond lattice, often called a harlequin pattern, in chocolate brown with small green and teal accents. It is a quiet detail that rewards a closer look, so it helps to keep the foot visible, on a console or shelf at eye level.
2. Why does the paint look layered and uneven?
Layers of paint have worn at different rates, so cream, chocolate brown, teal and green show through in patches and cracks. The unevenness is the result of age and handling and is part of the character. The surface is sold as found.
