FIGURE AND DESCRIPTION OF AN ORNAMENTAL 
FLOWER-STAND. 
DESIGNED BY MR. SAUL, OF LANCASTER. 
The very high state of perfection to 
which casting in iron has arrived., is taken 
advantage of for ornamental purposes. 
The present flower stand is worthy of 
notice, and will not be very expensive. 
There are four moveable brackets, a, a, a, a, 
which move round on the rod b, and may 
be placed any height and any figure that 
may please the possessor or suit the situa- 
tion in which it is placed. The rod b, 
moves up and down in the pillar c, e, till 
the branch rests at the top of the pillar 
at d. The branch e, is moveable and may 
be taken off the rod, so that the brackets 
may be slipped off at the top, leaving only 
one or two according to the number of 
plants intended to be placed thereon. The 
number of brackets may vary according to 
the season of the year. The stand is 
bronzed, which gives it an elegant appear- 
ance, either fit for a drawing-room or any 
Other place. Its whole weight is only 
twenty-six pounds, so that the cost is 
trifling, when the different moulds are in 
possession. The bottom part f, is made 
with different kinds of ornaments, to suit 
the taste of the purchaser. The pots g, g, 
are merely placed to show that they rest 
on the leaves fixed at the ends of the 
brackets.
