Gold Stand by Alexander Edward Tillander. Gold-colored metal stand with a crown-like top. The stand has three legs, each with a fluted texture and a twisted rope-like design. The legs are connected by a circular ring at the bottom. The crown-like top has a wide, shallow bowl shape with a decorative edge. The edge has small curls and scrollwork. Three small red gemstones are set into the top. The background is gray, with a gradient from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The stand casts a shadow on the surface below. The overall design is ornate and decorative.
