Lacquered Root Sculpture Stand with Tiered Display Surfaces and Warm Patina
Located in Yonkers, NY
A sculptural root formation with a rich lacquered finish, this organic stand captivates with its flowing form and warm amber tones. Carved from a single root mass, it showcases a complex structure with three tiered plateaus, each emerging naturally from the sinuous curves of the wood. The surface has been polished to reveal deep grain variations, swirling textures, and subtle color shifts that lend the piece both movement and depth.

Its fluid, asymmetric profile draws the eye from every angle, offering a sense of raw vitality and visual intrigue. Perfect as a centerpiece in a living room, entryway, or tranquil garden room, this root stand...
