One of the highest-end models produced by NB & IW in the 1890s, featuring richly detailed dragon-leg supports and dual marble surfaces – far rarer than the standard floral-leg versions. Exceptional late-Victorian two-tier plant stand by National Brass & Iron Works (NB & IW), Kalamazoo, Michigan, circa 1890s, model No. This rare and highly ornate stand features cast brass and iron construction with remarkable serpentine dragon-head legs, scroll-and-floral openwork tiers, and two original marble inserts-both intact and free of cracks. Each dragon leg displays sharply defined detailing, with expressive faces and textured scaling continuing along the curves of the supports. The upper and lower shelves retain their original square marble slabs, showing natural veining and coloration typical of the era. The top gallery is an elaborate pierced brass design with rococo floral scrolls and raised medallion centers. 712X on the underside, this is among the most desirable and intricately cast models produced by NB & IW. The stand retains a rich aged bronze-brass patina-cleaned but not over-polished-highlighting its authentic 19th-century character.

KAT Oasis captures the mysterious essence of desert existence and places it squarely beneath your fingertips on miniature dunes. Deserts are multifaceted gems. They are pressure incarnate; oppressive heat and bitter cold cut unprepared travelers like diamond shards. Clear skies and beautiful colors also punctuate their harsh experience. Eventually, as time and necessity encourage exploration, people master that arid beauty. Cultures that develop among the sands rely on will, imagination, and closely held skill to survive. That combination is mysterious and magical, encouraging spectacular tales to form amidst dreamlike drifts. Once those legends escape, they spread to captivate audiences around the world. They shape trade routes, politics, and folklore in a way that the West will never truly grasp. Most importantly, they provide resources and respite for life – even some agriculture. Hidden oases and constructs are a storytelling staple. Even butchered translations, like those found in. Are devoured by readers around the world. KAT Oasis respectfully adapts that concept to a modern digital interface – your keyboard. _gsrx_vers_1710 GS 9.9.1 (1710).
