Stand · Coalbrookdale
Hall Stand
Designed by Christopher Dresser (English, born Scotland, 1834-1904) · Coalbrookdale · c. 1870
The nineteenth century was a period of vast industrial developments, one of which was increased efficiency in cast-iron production. In this hall stand, Christopher Dresser combined medieval foliage motifs with classical depictions of the Greek gods of wind and water, Boreas and Aquarius.
