Rare and unique find listed way below the appraised value !  Beautiful vintage Solid Iron, Circular Ornamental Table Base with hanging Gold Gilt Ropes and Tassels.  This table base features a hand forged, round iron stock with dark grey to black patina surface. Three horizontal rings of differing diameter supported by Four scrolled legs joined at the bottom by a stretcher with a center sphere. The Gilt rope is hung and twisted all the way around and has 4 hanging tassels with individually cut metal threads on each tassel. (See photo) The bottom feet have rubber inserts attached. This table base stands 20-1/2" tall at the highest point and is approx 20-1/2" in diameter at the widest point. We were told this table base was made sometime between 1950-1965 by a very able iron smith, no doubt. Some chipping and patina throughout including the center sphere which seems to be made of a solid celluloid plastic material of some kind.All can be touched up if desired,personally I would leave it as is.There is only one piece of felt on the top side where the table top would rest and the other 3 can be easily replaced. We were told that this base more than likely would  have had a clear glass top originally in order to show the design. We will leave that up to the buyer,price is for the table base only. It weighs approx 22 lbs by itself. Excellent vintage one of a kind piece. Top quality artistic metalwork!. Available for local pickup if desired . This will be packaged very carefully and double boxed for safe shipment. Please look over the photos and zoom in to help verify the condition and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you
