Smoking Stand
Your early 20th century Arts & Crafts oak smoking stand will bring $350-$400 at auction. Possibly more because of the leaded slag glass "window". Very, very nice!

Thank you SilentGal for your appraisal. I was unaware of the slag glass you mentioned - was that a common item used at the time?

As far as the slag glass goes on furniture, the answer is yes and no. More common on built-in furniture like china cabinets in dining rooms, but uncommon in free standing hard case furniture. My grandparents had a home built in 1895-6 that had slag glass on the linen closets upstairs and leaded glass in the dining room (and other areas in the house). I searched quite a few auction comparables for Arts & Crafts smoking stands and none of them had that decoration. Similar hardware, but no glass.
Like I said, yours is special. I think someone that has a mission style home would be thrilled to have it!
