About the Item
Incredible rustic hand crafted tree root plant pedestal. Bring the beauty of nature indoors with this three tiered pedestal. Ideal for showcasing pottery, art class, sculptures, plants… or all of the above. The pedestal was created from a writhing, large tree limb. If this is the limb, one can only imagine how mighty and glorious the complete tree was! The tree root ball was sliced to create the pedestal platforms. Hypnotic grain and birdseye pattern can be seen in the figuring of this gold growth wood. It would be wise to position this pedestal in a way so that it can be viewed from all angles. Each vantage point is unique, as there is so much variation in its form. Forget about marble pedestals, use this functional work of art to show off your works of art.
Sculptural and monumental in presence, this live-edge tree trunk pedestal captures the raw beauty of nature in a form that evokes the celebrated organic modernism of George Nakashima. Hewn from a single solid trunk, the piece preserves the integrity of the tree — richly textured bark, irregular contours, and dramatic live-edge surfaces that reveal the layered history of growth and time.
Like Nakashima’s iconic works, this pedestal celebrates the imperfections of wood as essential to its character. Cracks, knots, and variations are not flaws but features, narrating the life of the tree while grounding the object in authenticity. The result is a work that reads as both functional and sculptural, bridging rustic naturalism with high design.
Standing tall and substantial, it is perfectly scaled to serve multiple roles: as a striking plant stand, an art pedestal for sculpture or ceramics, or as a standalone design statement anchoring a space. The form carries a timeless gravitas, its natural silhouette lending weight and warmth to modern, traditional, or eclectic interiors alike.
Condition is very good, with age checks and organic irregularities consistent with solid live-edge wood construction. The trunk has been stabilized for durability, ensuring that it maintains structural integrity while retaining its wild, unrefined charm.
Collectors and designers increasingly prize pieces in the manner of Nakashima for their ability to merge art, craft, and nature. This pedestal embodies that ethos — an elemental object elevated into furniture, a singular piece that commands attention in any curated setting.
More than a stand, it is an object of presence: raw, poetic, and enduring, offering a rare opportunity to bring the spirit of studio craft and the natural world into the interior.
