A substantial Old World accent for dining table, mantel, fireplace, library, study or traditional interior.  Based on its form, proportions, substantial weight, multi-part construction, soldered joints, decorative details and markings, this piece is believed to be of European origin, possibly German or Austrian, and potentially dates to the late 19th or early 20th century. This is an informed attribution rather than a confirmed identification; the maker, exact country and exact date have not been definitively established.  The underside bears three shield-style marks featuring Gothic-style lettering together with the number 181.
