Antique Brass Tabletop Mercantile Display Stand

A slender brass mercantile display stand designed with a tripod-style base and a tall central post topped by a simple horizontal arm. Built for countertop presentation, the stand would have originally held lightweight goods-scarves, jewelry, hosiery, small accessories, or price cards-elevating them above the surface for maximum visibility. The tripod legs feature small finials and jointed brass hardware, giving the stand a subtle industrial-decorative character while keeping the footprint compact and stable. These small-format stands were common in general stores, millinery shops, and early department stores, where adjustable-height brass fixtures offered a refined alternative to heavier cast-iron display hardware. Shows light patination and minor surface wear to the brass consistent with age and commercial use. 3.75" dia x 24" H MM - C-17946 - 112025 For information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms & Conditions page here.
