Brass-Toned Metal Caryatid Hat Stand

Updated August 28, 2026

This neoclassical-style millinery hat stand features a cast-metal figurine of a woman in classical draped attire, posed as a caryatid. The figure stands with one hand on her hip while the other arm is raised to support a capital atop her head. The figurine is mounted on a pedestal decorated with molded acanthus leaves. A fluted column rises from the figure and terminates in a pink satin-covered, domed cushion intended to support a hat. The entire assembly is set on a circular white-finished base with a red felt-covered underside. The metal components have a brass-toned finish. No maker's marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the exterior or underside of the piece.Height: 19.5 inchesBase Diameter: 7 inchesThe stand is in good vintage condition. Visible surface wear is present on the brass-toned metallic finish, particularly along the raised edges and high points of the figurine and fluted column. The white circular base exhibits scattered scuffs and minor losses to the finish along the outer perimeter. The pink satin cushion shows light surface wear and a few loose fibers. The felt on the underside shows minor shelf wear but remains intact.
