silvercherub Antique Cherub Quadruple Plate Stand

This is one of those....something I fall for in a big way, that has Mr. FrenchGardenHouse a little bit confused. It's not perfect, as it's missing the original glass bowl that would have come with it. But me? I see it holding a fat candle, wreathed in greens, the candlelight softly casting the beautiful cherub in a soft holiday glow. {Call me crazy!}

Silver with its shine and luster just seems to make the holidays more festive. I try and give mine a good polish so they are at their best during Christmas. I love to find new ways to use and display pieces. I have a large silver wine cooler (looks like a trophy) that I was given on my wedding day 40 years ago. It now proudly holds a display of lemons and their leaves on an over turned fireplace fender topped with a marble slab in my dining room. I have also pressed another vintage and rather beat up silver wine cooler into a container for shampoo, sponges, etc in my bathroom shower (my husband drilled holes in the bottom for drainage.
