Thats dust on it, it looks like it was done with a pastel chalk or something. I'm ignorant to old paintings and frames other than google and Soooo many links are ignorant or intentionally wrong. What do you think?

Western New York. I found a oval piece of wood that is a pyrography artwork (woodburning by hand) and an old oval frame with the glass that curves out but the glass was broken

I don't think the items found next to it have much to do with the stands origin but it's possible.

Thank you, after viewing a lot of the posts it seems to be a mature forum. Seems like a nice crowd that has a vast combined knowledge.

I found this stand in an attic that was screwed shut with two other items. The stand is made of cast and my father a machinist/engineer gave me a hypothesis of pre 1930 with the way  the metal is made and cast.

26.5 Inches Tall 
12.5 Inch Diameter of the plate on top

The bottom unthreads and the plate on top is not cast iron, maybe some type of tin.


Any help  or insight would be amazing. I look forward to chatting with the antique guru's on this site.

Thank you for looking!
