This antique estate salvage lot features two heavy architectural and industrial cast iron components. The first piece is a tall industrial factory floor stand engineered with a robust three-legged tripod base and a flat circular mounting plate rimmed with four pre-drilled bolt holes. The second piece is a highly decorative Victorian-era cast iron floor-standing ashtray top, missing its matching bottom base pedestal. The ornate top assembly features an openwork cigar or pipe holding ring detailed with classic scrollwork, stylized flourishes, and scalloped edges.
Lot Includes:
1 Antique cast iron industrial tripod floor stand with four-hole mounting plate
1 Antique ornate Victorian cast iron floor ashtray top assembly (missing base pedestal)
Please review all photos carefully to evaluate the exact cosmetic condition and weathering before bidding.
Condition Overview
Industrial Tripod Floor Stand: The heavy floor stand measures approximately 28.5 inches in height and remains structurally stable. The three-legged tripod base and primary vertical pipe support are intact with no structural breaks or repairs at the threaded connection junctions. The flat circular upper plate is sound, showing a small chip or natural casting irregularity on its outer perimeter. The entire metal surface exhibits a heavily weathered, authentic aged patina with variable paint loss, deep oxidation, and light surface rust.
Ornate Victorian Ashtray Top: The decorative smoking stand upper assembly is physically intact, showing no missing sections within the detailed openwork frame patterns. The top circular ashtray basket cradle and the highly stylized spade-shaped lower accent handle are securely integrated by a central iron rod, which terminates in a raw, rusty threaded end where it originally mounted to a weighted floor base. The entire piece features a dense coating of uniform surface rust, oxidation pitting, and accumulated grime consistent with salvage age.
