Vintage Miniature Embossed Brass Footed Stand | Mid-Century Indian Display Riser & Trivet

Every item curated for The Marian Collection must earn its place, and this densely detailed miniature brass riser is a masterclass in small-scale impact. Crafted in Moradabad, India—historically known as the "Brass City"—during the mid-20th century, this piece features a deeply embossed central floral rosette surrounded by intricate arabesque motifs. Supported by four stylized cabriole scroll legs, it possesses the kind of fearless, eclectic spirit that anchors a room’s smaller details.

Rather than polishing away decades of history, we deliberately preserved the authentic, untouched patina. The naturally aged brass brings a quiet, soulful character that simply cannot be replicated by modern manufacturing.
