<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chip Moore, post: 2326282, member: 15524&quot;]Thank you for all the replies. I now know it is definitely a wig/shaving stand and, as I suspected, c. 1800 and likely of English origin. I don&#039;t know what accoutrements would have accompanied it, but it is missing a fairly deep bowl and lid to the wooden cup.&nbsp; A pitcher of water would occupy the lowest shelf and it shows signs of something heavy being place there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect dealers may label it a plant or smoking stand because that is their best guess. Or it could be that they simply realize there isn&#039;t much demand for a wig/shaving stand and they present it as something sellable. </p><p><br /></p><p>My wife will use it as a plant stand once I find a suitable bowl.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thank you for all the replies.</p><p>Chip[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
