George III Wig Stand — English, Circa 1790

George III Wig Stand — English, Circa 1790

Short Description

An elegant George III English wig stand, circa 1790, with a shallow bowl to the top — a rare and sculptural survival of late‑18th‑century domestic grooming furniture.

Full Description

A fine late‑18th‑century English wig stand dating to around 1790, crafted in the George III period and distinguished by its graceful proportions and refined simplicity. The stand features a shallow circular bowl to the top — traditionally used for resting or preparing wigs — supported on a turned column and tripod base.

The surface shows gentle age‑related wear consistent with its period, giving the piece a warm, honest patina. Wig stands of this scale and completeness are increasingly scarce, making this an appealing example for collectors of Georgian furniture and early domestic objects.

Decorative, sculptural, and full of character, it works beautifully as an accent piece, lamp stand, or as part of a curated country‑house interior.
