A single brass stem runs through both tiers, fixed at graduated heights with a T-bar handle at the top. Both tiers are round with an organically lobed edge — larger at the base, smaller above. The marble is deep black with broad grey veining that sweeps across both surfaces and through the edge profile. A late-night gathering, music on, the kitchen counter already full. The stand holds the canapés across both tiers — set down in the middle of everything at the start of the evening and not moved again. People drift to it between conversations, taking from the upper tier first, then the lower one.• Measurements: 12" D x 13" H• Weight: 12 lb• Material: Black marble with matte brass stem and handle — dense, polished stone with bold veining, paired with a satin-finish brass connector• Color Palette: Deep black ground with broad, sweeping grey veining across both tiers; consistent matte gold brass throughout the stem and handle• Surface & Texture: Marble surfaces polished and smooth; brass stem matte and satin to the touch — no high shine on either material• Artisan Touches: The grey veining follows a different path across the upper and lower tier — position and width of the sweeps vary from stand to stand, determined by where each piece was cut
