This has always been a fun thread!! So, I found this shoved way in the back of a cabinet in the utility room!! Not sure if I'm keeping it or not! Anyone ever use one??
No Dw went to a steamer, so I followed.

This is an odd piece in a house I clean! The couple got it an auction, they have no idea what it is! They have a plant on top of it. Anyone ever see anything like this before??
It’s a Victorian plant stand. Beautiful. I don’t know famous names of furniture makers from the time period. It might be worth sending a pix to a qualified appraiser.
 
One other thought considering the large base is that it could have been a lamp stand. They were often tri-legged as that’s the least apt to rock. Just a thought. (Don’t want fire to tip.)
 
It is a device from a pre rest society, (tartaria) when people had time to build overly ornate devices, or replicators to do it for them
