19th Century Style Wrought Iron Christmas Tree Stand – Steel with Water Bowl

Do you want your Christmas this year to have the true, nostalgic atmosphere of days gone by? Forget about unsightly plastic stands that you have to hide under piles of presents. This beautiful metal Christmas tree stand in a 19th-century design is a jewel in itself. It is inspired by the Victorian era when the Christmas tree became the centrepiece of holiday celebrations. Thanks to its robust mild steel construction and wide base, it provides your tree with the necessary stability, while the integrated water bowl ensures that the needles stay fresh and green throughout the holidays. The elegant black finish with decorative scrolls and star-shaped screw heads adds just the right historical touch to your interior.

Design and Functionality Combined

The stand is made of durable mild steel, and its surface is lacquered to protect against rust. Its three elegantly scrolling legs ensure excellent stability on the floor. However, what you will appreciate most is its practicality. You can easily secure a trunk with a diameter of up to approx. 3.5 inches (8.8 cm) in the central sleeve. The trunk is fixed using three centering screws, which are topped with decorative stars—a small detail that delights the eye. An integrated water bowl with a diameter of approx. 6.8 inches sits at the base. By regularly topping up the water, you will significantly extend the life of the tree and reduce needle drop.

Historical Context: A Victorian Christmas

In the 19th century, the tradition of Christmas trees experienced a huge boom, largely popularized in the English-speaking world by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. While common folk often used wooden crosses or buckets filled with stones, heavy cast or wrought iron stands began to appear in wealthier households. These stands were often richly decorated with Art Nouveau or Gothic Revival motifs. This product is a tribute to that very era, where craftsmanship met function.

Installation and Care Instructions

To ensure the stand serves you for many years and your tree stands straight, follow these steps:

• Tree Preparation: If the trunk is thicker than 3.5 inches or irregular, trim or plane the bottom end to fit.
• Placement: Loosen all three screws, insert the trunk into the sleeve, and ensure it rests on the bottom of the bowl.
• Centering: Tighten the screws gradually and evenly from all sides. Constantly check that the tree is standing vertically.
• Watering: After securing, pour water into the bowl. Check the water level regularly.
• Maintenance: After Christmas, dry the bowl thoroughly to prevent rust forming in any scratches. Store the stand in a dry place.

Important Safety Warning: Although the stand is very stable, if you have small children or lively pets, never leave the tree unattended. Ideally, place it in a corner of the room or where there is no risk of it being accidentally knocked over.
