English antiques: Victorian mahogany Tree hallstand
English Victorian tree hallstand
The above piece of antique furniture is a so called ‘tree hallstand‘, for its obvious resemblance to a tree. It was crafted in the Victorian period of solid mahogany, popular exotic wood from the colonies of the Victorian era. The hallstand is of very good quality as most hallstands were in the old days, when it would be the main piece of furniture that visitors and guests would see, giving them the only, or the first and last impression of the social status and taste of the family. That’s why the budget for hallway furniture, and for hallstands in particular, was so significant. That also means that most examples are of very good quality.

Please note that pictures do not give the pieces justice, nor do they for the finish, one of our main selling points, as it’s done by us and it’s french polishing, with shellac only, applied with a pad.
