Vintage Solid Brass Fern Pedestal Dish Bowl MCM Botanical Centerpiece Decor 11"
This sculptural pedestal dish is crafted from heavy solid brass and features an intricate fern frond design forming a shallow bowl atop a flared base. The layered fronds radiate outward in a balanced, openwork arrangement, creating a strong organic silhouette while allowing light to pass through. Its substantial weight and solid brass construction give the piece a grounded, high-quality presence.
The botanical fern motif reflects Mid-Century Modern design influences that continued into the 1970s, when natural forms and statement brass décor were popular in both MCM and Hollywood Regency interiors. Finished in a warm gold tone with an authentic aged patina, this piece works beautifully as a centerpiece, catchall, or standalone display, appealing to collectors of vintage brass, MCM décor, and nature-inspired decorative arts.
